Abstract

The article presents a study on an update of childhood leukemia index and matched control mothers to either verify of falsify earlier findings concerning the association of maternal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection with an increased rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study involved a case-control study within the Finnish and Icelandic maternity cohorts of 550,000 mothers. It concludes that the data in the study did not justify the role of EBV in childhood leukemia.
