Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) Diagnosis and Testing

Diagnosing EBV can be done via the heterophile antibody test ("monospot" test), the anti-VCA antibody test, and the anti-EBNA antibody test. The monospot test is neither sensitive nor specific.

Is it true that VCA IgG values of more than 10 times the max normal indicate a chronic EBV infection ?

[@jerrypotter9070]

Could you please explain heterophile antibody in more detail? It is confusing.

Would acyclovir help prevent or treat this infection since EBV is a member of the herpes virus family?

[@MA-eo9rl]

EBV = No treatment for sane transmitters, corticotherapy for immunideficient

Why is the titer weak on newborns/babies?

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?

[@tayyabatariq2182]

You should get yourself checked if possible .

[@mihovilcota8761]

When you say: "after infection" do you mean after the initial exposure or after the entire infection had passed. Because if there is an infection present there will be antibodies. If there are no antibodies present. It might mean that there is no infection present. Igg and igm antibodies are also key to understanding this topic. IGG anti VCA and anti EBNA antibodies persists "after initial infection" and are a sign of PRESENT infection in patients with unimpaired ability to produce such antibodies. Sorry for disliking the video, the sketches are good but information is scarce and might be misunderstood.
