EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test to help diagnose and assess the presence of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in your body. This blood test measures the level of IgG antibodies against the EBNA antigen, which is a protein produced by the EBV.
Test Details
The EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test is used to determine if you have been previously infected with EBV. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates past infection and immunity to the virus. This test is often ordered when a healthcare provider suspects a recent or past EBV infection, or to confirm a previous diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis (mono).
It’s important to note that a positive EBNA IgG test does not necessarily mean an active infection, as the antibodies can persist in the body for years after the initial infection. Additionally, a negative result does not rule out a current or past EBV infection, as it may take several weeks for antibodies to develop after infection.
The EBNA IgG test is typically performed alongside other EBV antibody tests, such as the viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgG and IgM tests, to provide a more comprehensive picture of your EBV infection status.
Test Components and Price
The EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test is priced at AED 1400.0. The test requires a sample of 2 mL (0.5 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. Please ensure that the Test Send Out Consent Form is duly filled and submitted.
Report Delivery
Your sample should be sent by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
Method
The EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test is performed using an immunoassay method.
Pre Test Information
Please note that the Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory and must be duly filled before the test can be conducted.
About the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that infects the majority of people worldwide. It is the main cause of infectious mononucleosis, also known as mono or the “kissing disease.” After initial infection, the virus remains in the body for life and can become dormant or reactivate periodically.
If you suspect a recent or past EBV infection or have been diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis, our EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY TO NUCLEAR ANTIGEN EBNA IgG Test can help provide valuable information about your infection status.
Visit DNA Labs UAE and get tested today to ensure your peace of mind and better understand your EBV infection status.
