  • Title: Epstein-Barr Virus DNA quantification: an adjunctive diagnostic marker for AIDS-associated lymphoma.
    Author: Ho SF, Fink C, Murray PI.
    Journal: Ocul Immunol Inflamm; 2005 Dec; 13(6):471-3. PubMed ID: 16321894.
    Abstract:
    We report an HIV-positive patient who developed a unilateral retinitis and subsequent intracranial lesions. The finding of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) DNA at a > 1-log greater concentration in the vitreous compared to blood raised the possibility of a primary CNS non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which was subsequently confirmed on brain biopsy. EBV DNA quantification acted as a diagnostic marker that led to a change in the management of our patient.
