Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral load testing using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is commonly used for diagnosing and monitoring diseases associated with these viruses. In this chapter, we describe laboratory-developed test protocols for EBV based on published literature and for CMV based on commercially available analyte-specific reagents.
