Overview
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory tests performed in a case suspected of primary central nervous system lymphoma include complete blood count, complete metabolic panel, lactate dehydrogenase, serological testing for HIV, and CSF analysis.
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]
