Our study describes the comparison of a rapid nested PCR assay to standard serology
techniques for the detection of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) in serum. The sera of 81 patients …

ABSTRACT Detection of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA by PCR in serum had a sensitivity of
80%, a specificity of 94%, and positive and negative predictive values of 95 and 79 …

Specific viral laboratory diagnosis of primary Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) infection is usually
based on antibody‐detection assays. During acute, lytic phase of infection, viral DNA can …

The laboratory diagnosis of primary and reactivated Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) infection is
based on serologic methods in immunocompetent patients. However, in …

Background: Despite the availability of several serological markers, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
status of some patients is not easily resolved. Objectives: The aim of the present study was …

Monitoring of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) load in immunocompromised patients has become
integral to their care. An increasing number of reagents are available for quantitative …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a molecular assay for quantitation
of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA based on real-time PCR, and to determine EBV DNA levels …

BACKGROUND: The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method is a novel
technique for the amplification of specific DNA sequences. OBJECTIVES: To establish the …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes various diseases, such as infectious mononucleosis (IM),
fatal IM, EBV-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (EBVAHS), and chronic active EBV …

To measure the virus load in patients with symptomatic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections,
we used a real-time PCR assay to quantify the amount of EBV DNA in blood. The real-time …
