“…We noted a lower PCR yield for EBV (3/201; 1%) when compared to previous literature (up to 17%). 5,6,13,14 The prevalence of GWC was not systematically performed in the past except one study, which reports on 3/82; 4% prevalence of positive EBV GWC in uveitis patients (out of which 1 had a higher GWC for VZV), which is similar to 9% found in the present study. 5 It should be however noted that the GWC results in our study were typically low and/or combined with multiple positive GWCs.…”
