What is Epstein-Barr Virus Early Antigen IgG (EBV EA IgG)?
This test detects IgG antibodies against the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Early Antigen. These antibodies typically appear during the acute phase of an EBV infection and can persist for several months, indicating a recent or reactivated infection.
Why is this test important?
Detecting EBV EA IgG is useful in diagnosing acute or reactivated EBV infections, especially when combined with other EBV antibody tests. It helps differentiate between past and current infections and can be a marker for more severe or persistent forms of the virus.
