Hi,

Thanks for your query

Let me apologise first for the delay in getting your answers.

Before I proceed further to interpret your results, I find it appropriate that you are informed of the following details.

1. EB virus infections are generally a self limiting infection and serious complications happening rarely (in less than 5% cases)
2. EB virus infection is one of the common infection in western countries. Few reports suggest that about more than 95% population in the western world are infected with EB virus.
3. The primary symptoms often go unrecognized as the symptoms consistently overlap with minor flu symptoms. A few develop clinical signs of the infection.

"In the absence of clinical signs, positive results are less significant.
Hence in this circumstances diagnosis should co relate with clinical equivalence." Perhaps a clinician or Infectious disease specialist can assist you here.

Coming to the point, you are looking for interpretation of your reports.

Interpretations of serological findings allow EBV infection stage-specific diagnoses.
Accordingly positive EBV capsid IgG and EBNA IgG antibodies, in the absence of IgM antibodies indicated a past infection and NOT a recent infection. Hence I do associate the positive reports to the recent exposure as reported by you.

I would interested in knowing the type of test (immunoflorescent assay / Enzyme linked immunoassay or Westernblot technique) used while performing the test. Westernblot test results are confirmatory. I would also want to get the blood test for atypical lymphocytes.

Hope you find this answer informative. I will be available for follow ups.

Regards
