* TCR-gene rearrangements can be detected via PCR or NGS methods. Of note, T-cell clonality can also be detected in EBV-associated HLH and other EBV-associated disorders.<ref name=":10" />
* Differential Diagnosis with EBV-positive HLH is challenging
** TCR-gene rearrangements and aberrant T-cell phenotypes can be seen in both SEBVTCL of childhood and EBV-positive HLH
** The WHO 5th edition and International Consensus Classification note that cytogenetic abnormalities favor a diagnosis of SEBVTCL over EBV-positive nonfamilial HLH.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":0" />
** Primary/familial EBV-positive HLH can be excluded by family history and genetic analysis<ref name=":10" />
* TCR-gene rearrangements can be detected via PCR or NGS methods. Of note, T-cell clonality can also be detected in EBV-associated HLH and other EBV-associated disorders.<ref name=":10" /> Cytogenetic abnormalities can be detected with karyotype and/or chromosome microarray (CMA).
