Objective AIDS-related lymphoma (ARL) often involves the central nervous system (CNS). Although the diagnostic value of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in detecting HIV-positive primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) has been established, its usefulness for identifying CNS involvement of systemic ARL remains elusive. In this study, we evaluated the utility of the EBV-DNA load in CSF in identifying CNS involvement in patients with systemic ARL. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and pathological data of consecutive ARL patients managed at our clinic between January 1998 and June 2012. Sixty-two patients with ARL, including eight PCNSL patients and 52 systemic ARL patients, and 63 controls underwent CSF EBV-DNA load evaluations before receiving chemotherapy. ARL-related CNS involvement was defined as any lesion diagnosed histologically or radiologically as a lymphoma in the brain, meninges, spine, cranial nerves or oculus. Results A cut off value of 200 copies/mL predicted the presence of CNS lesions with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 85% in both the PCNSL and systemic ARL patients, while a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 93% were obtained for systemic ARL. A cut off value of 2,000 (3.30 log) copies/mL provided the best specificity (100%), with a sensitivity of 50%. Conclusion Our results support the clinical utility of evaluating the quantitative EBV-DNA load in the CSF for the diagnosis of CNS involvement of systemic ARL as well as PCNSL.
