Successful treatment with ganciclovir of presumed Epstein-Barr meningo-encephalitis following bone marrow transplant
Bone Marrow Transplant.
1995 Aug.
Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to diagnose EBV-meningo-encephalitis in a bone marrow transplant recipient. The patient made complete recovery with ganciclovir treatment. Pitfalls in diagnosis with EBV-PCR and the potential therapeutic efficacy of ganciclovir in EBV infections are discussed.
