Introduction: Several studies have shown an association between infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the occurrence of many cancers in humans, including certain gastric carcinomas (GC). Indeed, recent studies have reported that 10% of CGs are associated with EBV. Materials and Methods: Samples of gastric carcinomatous tissues (biopsies and surgical specimens) were analyzed by PCR for the detection of EBV. Samples were collected retrospectively between January 2008 and December 2018. Results: during this period, 52 samples were analyzed. PCR results show the EBV infection rate to be 3.8%. Conclusion: The results obtained during this preliminary study confirm the association of EBV in 3.8% of CG cases, which is consistent with the data in the literature. Key words: EBV, gastric carcinoma, PCR.
