We have suggested, several years ago, an association between the measles virus and classical Hodgkin lymphoma. However, this relationship was not accepted by the isolated research groups which dealt with the issue. In this short commentary, we recall the traits of the virus which were suggestive of a familiarity with Hodgkin lymphoma. We mention, in addition, older articles which highlight these similarities. As the impact of apoptosis in Hodgkin lymphoma is controversial, a chapter is saved for it. Atypical measles syndrome has long been forgotten. It is mentioned in the present context. The consensus agrees that immunity waning is not a significant factor regarding the measles virus. Is it indeed?
