Why This Biomarker Matters

EBV serology helps confirm past infection and can explain symptoms like fatigue or lymphadenopathy. Knowing your EBV status is important if you're immunocompromised or have chronic fatigue symptoms.

Overview

This test detects IgG antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear proteins, indicating past or current EBV infection. EBV causes mononucleosis and is one of the most common human viruses. A positive result shows you've been exposed to EBV; the titer level can help determine if infection is recent or past. Most adults carry EBV; it typically causes no ongoing problems but can reactivate under stress or immunosuppression.
