Student elective for Elizabeth Oxley. (360G-Wellcome-083670_Z_07_Z)
Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of B-cell origin, commonly presenting as a tumour of the jaw or abdomen. It is a high grade, rapidly progressing lymphoma which is invariably fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. However, response to intensive chemotherapy is good, resulting in a cure in the majority of paediatric cases in the west. An endemic form of BL exists in Sub-Saharan Africa, predominantly affecting children under the age of 15 years. Cases of endemic BL have been mapped to a geographical band 150 north and south of the equator, extending south-east into Mozambique. Previous research has identified a close association with both falciparum malaria and Epstein Barr virus.
