Abstract:

Diseases caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection are increasing,such as organ transplantation-associated EBV infection. Epithelial cell source tumor is correlated with EBV infection,and it is characterized by recessive infection and is often ignored in clinic. With the development of determination methods for EBV infection,especially quantitative determination of EBV DNA,combined with the results of immunological determination,pathogens could be timely determined in early infection period. It is potential for the dynamic monitoring and prognosis evaluation of EBV-related tumors. This review focuses on the determination methods of EBV from home and abroad and the relationship between EBV-related determination and tumors.

Key words: Epstein-Barr virus, Determination method, Tumor, Therapy
