Test Code (รหัสการทดสอบ):
090-70-0040-01

Order Name (ชื่อการทดสอบ):
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus), Viral load

 
Specimen / Container (สิ่งส่งตรวจ/ภาชนะ):
Blood/ K3 EDTA (Lavender Top) 3 mL, 2 tubes
 
Turnaround Time (ระยะเวลารอผล):
Received specimen to reported within 4 days.
 
Useful For (ประโยชน์การทดสอบ):
This test is used to measure the EBV viral load in whole blood. The viral load represents the number of virions and/or the number of EBV-infected B lymphocytes in the replication phase. Combined with other biological investigation methods (medical examination, biochemical and immunological analysis, etc.) the EBV viral load measurement is used to define a therapeutic strategy and monitor its efficacy. In certain cases, the EBV viral load is also useful to confirm an EBV primary infection, or to diagnose Hodgkin’s lymphoma or nasopharyngealcarcinoma.

EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus), Viral load

 
 
Clinical Information (ข้อมูลทางคลินิก):
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that infects the majority of the world population (seroprevalence is greater than 95%). After a primary infection (transmission through contact with saliva), EBV remains latent in B cells. Periodically, EBV can reactivate in immunocompetent individuals. This reactivation is characterized by the production of virions in the oropharynx but is asymptomatic. EBV is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. It is also involved in the pathogenesis of several cancers such as Burkitt’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In immunosuppressed individuals, EBV can lead to B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Indeed, the main characteristic of EBV is to cause the B lymphocytes to multiply and subsequently produce a malignant lymphoma. In this context, the measurement of the EBV viral load is particularly significant.

Test Reference Value
Plasma EBV (Viral load) Not detected
Log equivalence Not detected
 
Interpretation (การแปลผล):
  1. The quantification range of this assay is 150 to 1,500,000 copies/mL (2.18 log to 6.18 log copies/mL).
  2. An "Not detected" result indicates that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was not detected in the plasma specimen.
  3. A result of "<150 copies/mL (<2.18 log copies/mL)" indicates that EBV DNA is detected, but the EBV DNA level present cannot be quantified accurately below this lower limit of quantification of this assay. When clinically indicated, follow-up testing with this assay is recommended in 1 to 2 months.
  4. Two quantification results are considered as significantly different if the two values expressed in log10 (copies/mL of sample) differ by at least 0.5 log10. This interpretation only applies if the 2 quantification results were obtained using the same PCR real time instrument and the same extraction methods.
  5. It is absolutely necessary to interprete the test results include with other clinical and biological test results in order to define patient viral status.
