Quantitative Analysis of Cell-free Epstein-Barr Virus Genome Copy Number in Patients with EBV-associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
To determine whether the EBV genome content in serum or plasma reflects clinical features and outcome in EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH), we quantified the cell-free EBV genome copy number by real-time PCR in 38 patients with EBV-HLH, and compared this to the values from 15 patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM). The median (range) cell-free EBV genome copy number at diagnosis was...
