Amy Karger MD PhD presented the results of 6 years of quantitative viral load monitoring for EBV infections at our institution on October 30, 2009 at the 47th annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America in Philadelphia. She reported that EBV infections were more common in solid organ than hematopoietic cell transplants and was useful in distinguishing cases of the serious posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
