EBV Diagnostics

[@ZlayaCo6aka]

BEWARE: The sample source for EBV PCR matters: Whole blood measures every component of whole blood; plasma or serum measures only cell-free DNA. (Processing whole blood into plasma/serum REMOVES infected cells from the sample.) So, in some cases PCR using plasma/serum can be negative while PCR using whole blood can be positive in the thousands. Running simultaneous PCRs on whole blood and plasma/serum can help diagnose the type and severity of the EBV infection and EBV-related illnesses. Using PBMC as the PCR sample source is claimed to be the most "sensitive" measurement.

Hello, Errata on minute 3:34 (should be "false positive monospot test can occur...") +repeat on around 5:27 and 7:57 and 9:45. Why is there no VCA IgM antibodies in EBV reactivation?

Hey so I have a question I want to see if someone can answer. My mom was diagnosed with ebv in 2015. I don't remember her having symptoms. I know I probably did drink from her I'm sure sometime. I never had mono nor have I been diagnosed with ebv. I also have never had the symptoms of ebv so is it possible I have it? If so should I watch out for my spit and blood? I'm washing my hands constantly and I'm always worried about infecting others. Should I be worried or not?
