To the Editor: In the article by Dave et al. (June 8 issue)¹ concerning the molecular diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma, almost half the patients with Burkitt's lymphoma were children. The data in the companion article by Hummel et al.² were not stratified according to age. If the patients are separated into adults and children, are the results similar? Can the same method be applied to patients with immunodeficiency?
