Epstein-Barr Virus EBV Viral Load Quantitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Viral Load Quantitative Test for AED 1700.0. This laboratory test measures the amount of EBV DNA in a person’s blood. EBV is a common virus that is associated with various diseases, including infectious mononucleosis and certain types of cancer.
Test Details
The EBV viral load quantitative test is typically ordered when a healthcare provider suspects an active EBV infection or wants to monitor the progression of a known EBV infection. It can help determine the severity of the infection, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the effectiveness of antiviral therapy.
During the test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and sent to our laboratory for analysis. We use a technique called Real Time PCR to amplify and detect the EBV DNA in the sample. The result is reported as a numerical value, known as the viral load, which represents the number of EBV DNA copies per milliliter of blood.
A high viral load may indicate an active EBV infection, while a low viral load may suggest a previous infection or a dormant virus. However, it is important to note that the viral load alone does not provide a definitive diagnosis of an EBV-related disease. The test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other laboratory findings.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral load quantitative test is a laboratory test that measures the amount of EBV DNA in a person’s blood. EBV is a common virus that infects most people at some point in their lives and is associated with various diseases, including infectious mononucleosis and certain types of cancer. The test is typically ordered when a healthcare provider suspects an active EBV infection or wants to monitor the progression of a known EBV infection. It can help determine the severity of the infection, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the effectiveness of antiviral therapy. During the test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The lab uses a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect the EBV DNA in the sample. The result is reported as a numerical value, known as the viral load, which represents the number of EBV DNA copies per milliliter of blood. A high viral load may indicate an active EBV infection, while a low viral load may suggest a previous infection or a dormant virus.
