Brief Summary
PBMNC DNA is considered a limit above which patients will develop EBV associated post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. we showed that methotrexate tended to decrease EBV load over time, but this did not reach significance and that TNFa inhibitors did not significantly modify EBV load over time. Our objective is to monitor Epstein Barr Virus load over time in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis under Orencia\* (abatacept) or RoActemra\* (tocilizumab), to detect possible immunosuppression associated EBV dysregulation, as seen in post transplant lymphoproliferative disease.
