Test Details
The EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS ANTIBODIES TO VIRAL CAPSID ANTIGEN VCA IgG and IgM Test is a blood test used to detect antibodies produced by the body in response to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a common virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (mono) and is also associated with various other conditions, including certain types of cancer.
The test measures the levels of IgG and IgM antibodies specific to the viral capsid antigen of the EBV. IgG antibodies are produced later during the infection and remain in the body long-term, indicating a past or previous infection. IgM antibodies, on the other hand, are produced earlier in the infection and indicate a current or recent infection.
A positive IgG test result suggests that a person has been exposed to EBV in the past, while a positive IgM test result suggests a current or recent infection. A negative result for both IgG and IgM antibodies indicates no current or past infection.
It’s important to note that the presence of antibodies does not necessarily mean that a person is currently experiencing symptoms or is contagious. The test is primarily used to determine if a person has been exposed to EBV or to confirm a suspected diagnosis of mono.
