There are few data on the performance of automated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) PCR assays. This study compared EBV quantification for the kPCR PLX EBV DNA (kPCR; Siemens, France) and the EBV R-gene (R-gene; Argene, Biomerieux, France) assays and their correlation with the World Health Organization (WHO) standard.
