What is Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Quantitative PCR?

This test detects and measures the amount of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA in your blood. It's a quantitative test, meaning it tells you how much of the virus is present, which is useful for monitoring active infections.

Why is this test important?

Quantitative EBV PCR is crucial for diagnosing active EBV infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals where the virus can reactivate and cause severe complications. It helps monitor viral load, assess disease progression, and guide treatment decisions for conditions like post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD).

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
