About the test

The Epstein-Barr Evaluation assesses several antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is performed to confirm active, past, or indeterminate infection for EBV-associated infectious mononucleosis.

Included biomarkers & Reference ranges

Biomarker	Reference range
Epstein-Barr Virus Early Antigen (EA) Antibody (IgG) An antibody that rises during active or recent Epstein-Barr virus infection and typically fades over time, helping pinpoint how recent an infection is.	—
Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) Antibody (IgG) An antibody that appears months after Epstein-Barr virus infection and persists for life — its presence indicates a past, not recent, infection.	—
Epstein-Barr Virus Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) Antibody (IgG) An antibody indicating past infection with Epstein-Barr virus (the cause of mono); usually stays positive for life.	—
Epstein-Barr Virus Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) Antibody (IgM) An antibody that appears early in Epstein-Barr virus infection, helping identify a recent or current case of mono.	—
