Hi there! I'm new to this forum. But I had my EBV retested and was wondering if I could have help interpreting the results. My old results from 2009 must have been tested with different parameters-- here are those results:
2009
EBV-VCA IgG 4.42 ( anything over >1.10 is positive)
EBV-VCA IgM 0.46 (< or = 0.90 negative)
Also was tested for CMV:
CMV- IgG 3.89 (over 1.10 is positive)
CMV-IgM 0.25 (< or = 0.90 negative)
My results from last week have completely different testing parameters so I am wondering how to compare them and what my new ones mean.
EBV-VCA IgM <36.0 U/ml range 0.0-35.9 U/ml (negative)
EBVE 29.1 U/ml range 0.0-8.89 U/ml (positive)
EBV-VCA IgG 99.7 U/ml range 0.0-17.9 U/ml (positive)
EBV Nuclear Ag 270.0 U/ml range 0.0-17.79 U/ml (positive)
I also have low IgA (56) normal is 87-352
Borderline CD 57 NK (93) Normal is 98 or above, and ideal is 200-300
I *believe* that these results indicate that I have a reactivation of the virus and/or some type of cancer, but am not sure...
My thyroid and adrenals are fine. I am Lyme indeterminate. (tested positive for 1 1/2 of the 2 required bands to be considered CDC positive. By 1/2, I mean that my result was "IND" for one...not quite a positive, but not a negative. I would have contracted Lyme in July of 1987. Just got tested October of last year, so it's been 29 years....lots of diagnoses...CFS, fibro, possible MS...)
Thanks in advance for any insight you might have. I should note that my doctor said "everything was normal"
