Limitations
Laboratory test results should always be considered in the context of clinical observations. This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined by med fusion. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.
Reference Range
Not Detected
Clinical Significance
Monitoring EBV DNA levels by quantitative PCR in patients at risk of EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders may allow timely recognition of virus reactivation and permit installment of antiviral treatment. Reportable range is 200-2,000,000 copies/mL (2.70 to 6.30 Log copies/mL).
