Abstract:
Epstein-Barr ( EB) virus is wildly spreaded in human and associated with many diseases. EBV-DNA load measurement by PCR has been shown to play an important role in the diagnosis of these disea-ses, a method to monitor patients and a prognosis factor of the outcome in many EBV-associated diseases. This review focuses on the development of the EBV-DNA detection technique and the advances of clinical use in sev-eral non-neoplastic EBV-associated diseases in children.
