Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Antibodies to Early Antigen IgG Testing at 24-7 Labs
The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a common virus that infects most people at some point in their lives. It is best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis, often called “mono” or the “kissing disease.” While many people recover without complications, EBV can remain dormant in the body and reactivate later, potentially causing various health issues.
The EBV Antibodies to Early Antigen (EA) IgG test is a specialized blood test that detects antibodies produced in response to the early antigen of the Epstein-Barr Virus. This test helps identify recent or reactivated EBV infections and provides valuable insight into your immune system’s response.
Why Is the EBV EA IgG Test Important?
Testing for EBV EA IgG antibodies can help diagnose active or reactivated EBV infection, especially when symptoms like fatigue, fever, swollen lymph nodes, or sore throat persist. It is also useful in differentiating EBV from other viral infections with similar symptoms.
How the Test Works
The test involves a simple blood draw at any of the 24-7 Labs locations. Your sample is analyzed to detect the presence and levels of EBV EA IgG antibodies. A positive result suggests recent or reactivated infection, while a negative result may indicate past infection or no exposure.
When to Consider Testing
If you experience prolonged fatigue, unexplained fever, swollen glands, or other symptoms linked to EBV, your healthcare provider may recommend this test. It is particularly helpful for individuals with weakened immune systems or those undergoing treatment for chronic conditions.
