Conversion between different methods of measuring EBV (Epstein-Barr) viral loads

Unit Conversion factor Low load High load
Copies/10^5 peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) 1 8-200 >200
Copies/ug DNA 3 24-600 >600
Copies/10^6 PBLs 10 80-2000 >2000
Copies/mL of blood (about 2 x 10^6 PBLs) 20 160-4000 >4000
Copies/10^7 B cells 1000 10^4-10^5 >10^5
