Journal of clinical pathology, 1994•jcp.bmj.comCervical smears from 327 women were examined using the polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) targeted to a sequence in the Bam H1 W region of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to
determine the prevalence of the virus in the cervix. EBV was detected in 131 (40%) of the
327 women. Of the 235 women with normal cytology, 98 (42%) were positive. Of the 92
women with dyskariotic smears, 33 (36%) were positive.
