Abstract
As Koch noted, correlation does not prove causation. Thus, historical concordance cannot definitively rule in a certain factor as the cause of a disease; however, it can rule out a factor. I apply this notion in examining the relationships of the antiquities of Hodgkin's disease (1832), Sjögren's syndrome (1888), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (1885).Keywords
