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...

This review focused on the clinical and laboratory features of CNS EBV infection among patients with HIV, and discussed various types of EBV-associated CNS infections, and predominant neoplasms involving CNS such as primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), CNS-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, smooth muscle tumors and leiomyosarcomas, EBV encephalitis or myelitis, EBV meningitis and EBV coinfection with other causative agents were also included.
