Lin, a 5-year-11-month-boy. In the first hospital, he was suspected to have EBV infection and "infectious mononucleosis". He was given intravenous ganciclovir at first. However, Lin's oral temperature still fluctuated at around 38.5°C after the regimen and complained of weakness, significant headache, and bilateral elbow joints pain. 1. Should we do EBV DNA test, whole blood EBV test, EBV plasma test, EBV PCR test for children? Which nucleic acid is better for children? Which of them should be taken for diagnosing EBV virus? 2. Should antibody test or PCR test be taken prior than the other tests when diagnosing disease concerning EBV?
