Lessons from Epstein-Barr virus DNA detection in cerebrospinal fluid as a diagnostic tool for EBV-induced central nervous system dysfunction among HIV-positive patients

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remains vital for evaluating active EBV infection involving the central nervous system (CNS). CSF EBV DNA was often found in conjunction with other microbial infection affecting the CNS among patien...
