Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Antibody Profile, Serum

OVERVIEW

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a herpesvirus responsible for infectious mononucleosis, is difficult to diagnose because it doesn't grow in standard cultures. Diagnosis typically relies on serum tests for heterophile antibodies, which decrease after about three weeks, but 10% of adults, and most children and infants, don't produce these antibodies. In such cases, diagnosis depends on EBV-specific antibody profiling, including tests for VCA IgM, VCA IgG, and EBNA. EBV spreads via respiratory secretions and is associated with various conditions, including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and lymphoproliferative syndromes in transplant and AIDS patients.
