Epstein-Barr virus DNA in serum in a HIV-infected patient during development and treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

چکیده
Immunocompromised patients are at risk of developing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferative disorders. Quantitative determination of serum EBV DNA permits early diagnosis of an AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and surveillance of treatment response and/or relapse, and thus may be a useful tool to monitor disease activity.
