Abstract

Abstract A review of 28 patients who tested positive for both Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin M at an academic medical center revealed that dual positivity is more common than previously reported. These cases require careful review of the history and sometimes supplemental testing. This report highlights features of patients with dual positivity and provides recommendations on interpretation of the results.
