Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is one of the most common viruses in humans. It causes Infectious Mononucleosis, also known as 'glandular fever', which mainly affects young people and is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
An EBV test can be useful when you experience symptoms of Infectious Mononucleosis or when you want to know if you have been infected with the virus in the past. It helps confirm the diagnosis, especially in cases where the symptoms resemble those of other diseases.
An EBV test can detect the presence of specific antibodies against the virus in the blood. This helps determine whether you have an active infection, or if you have been infected in the past.
A high level of specific EBV antibodies may indicate an active or recent infection. This means you currently have Infectious Mononucleosis or have had it recently.
A low level of antibodies against EBV may mean that you have never been infected with the virus or that a previous infection was so long ago that the antibody titers have declined.
