  • Title: Endemic Balkan nephropathy, a slow virus disease?
    Author: Drăgănescu N, Antipa C, Gîrjabu E, Melencu M.
    Journal: Virologie; 1983; 34(1):3-6. PubMed ID: 6857986.
    Abstract:
    Serum samples from patients with endemic Balkan nephropathy (EBN) were inoculated intraperitoneally to four species of laboratory animals. It was only in the guinea pig that a serially transmissible experimental disease occurred, after a long incubation period. The morphopathological features in the guinea pig were similar to those encountered in the terminal phase of human EBN. The hypothesis that EBN might be a slow virus disease is discussed.
