Factors Influencing PCR Detection of Viruses in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients with Suspected CNS Infections
JNNP 76:82-87, Davies,N.W.S.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The diagnostic yield of PCR can be maximized by using sensitive assays to detect a range of pathogens in appropriately times CSF samples. PCR results, in particular EBV, should be interpreted cautiously when symptoms cannot readily be attributed to the virus detected.
