Determination of Epstein-Barr Virus–Infected Lymphocyte Cell Types in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells as a Valuable Diagnostic Tool in Hematological Diseases

Abstract

Determination of EBV-infected cell types among PBMCs is a valuable tool for the differential diagnosis of EBV⁺ hematological diseases.In this study, determination of Epstein-Barr virus-infected cell types in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 291 patients with high Epstein-Barr virus loads were retrospectively investigated, which indicate it is a valuable tool for Epstein-Barr virus-associated hematological diseases.
