A member asked:
Why would you do flow cytometry if ebv serology is positive and no blasts were seen in wbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphoma?: Ebv has been associated with post-transplant lumphoprolifeative disorder and i believe this is your question. What the doctors are looking for is the clonality of the b lymphocytes and any rearrangements in the normal genes of your immunoglobulins or antibodies with some of the ebv genes. In many instances there will be no circulating blasts.
