Overview
Laboratory Findings
- CD4+ count - Mean CD4+ count at time of diagnosis is ~50/uL.
CSF Analysis
- CSF examination demonstrates elevated protein and decreased glucose.[1]
- Positive cytology is uncommon (~25%).
- Positive EBV DNA in CSF-PCR is helpful for diagnosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma, particularly in HIV/AIDS patients.[1]
