This client has possible multiple myeloma.A positive Bence-Jones protein finding would correlate with this condition.The Epstein-Barr virus is a herpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis and some cancers.A hemoglobin of 18 mg/dL is slightly high for a male and somewhat high for a female; this can be caused by several conditions,and further information would be needed to correlate this value with a specific medical condition.A red blood cell count of 8.2/mm³ is also high,but again,more information would be needed to correlate this finding with a specific medical condition.
