Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody Panel - Primary infection by EBV causes infectious mononucleosis, usually a self-limiting disease in children and young adults. Infection with EBV can cause lymphoproliferative disorders including tumors. VCA-IgM is typically detectable at clinical presentation, then declines to undetectable levels within a month in young children and within 3 months in other individuals. VCA-IgG is typically detectable at clinical presentation, and persists for life. EBNA IgG typically appears during convalescence (3-4 months after clinical presentation) and remains detectable for life.

This Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Antibody Profile helps identify if your symptoms are due to a current or past EBV infection, like mononucleosis. It checks for specific antibodies that show how your body has responded to the virus. Knowing this can pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate treatment.

  • Body aches: This test can help determine if body aches are caused by an active or recent EBV infection.
  • Fatigue: Checking for EBV antibodies can help identify if persistent fatigue is related to mononucleosis.
  • Fever: This panel can help determine if a fever is caused by an active EBV infection.
  • Headache: This test can help determine if headaches are caused by an active or recent EBV infection.
  • Sore throat: This panel can help determine if a sore throat is caused by an active EBV infection, which is a common symptom of mononucleosis.
  • Swollen lymph nodes: This test can help determine if swollen lymph nodes are caused by an active EBV infection.
