a

Shown are the 12/32 possible serological patterns that occurred in ≥10 patients.

b

Pattern numbers correspond to those shown in Table 1.

c

See Materials and Methods for classification of EBV stage. Areas of expected concordance between the “presumed” and observed EBV stage are highlighted in bold.

d

Twenty percent of randomly selected patients were reviewed.

e

Patients were not reviewed due to unavailability of the medical record.

f

Predictive value was calculated by dividing the number of patients highlighted in bold by the total number of patients with completed chart review in that row.

g

N/C, not calculated. See Discussion.

h

Pos, positive; Neg, negative.
