EBV test results

[ulysses27]

So I just got a lab result back where my EBV nuclear was 35 and my EBV VCA was 65. Normal range is 17 and below. Does anyone know what this might mean?

Is that the only ebv test you got done?

Seems that an antibody panel and/or DNA pcr can be a possible indicator

There was one more EBV test but it was normal. I'm not sure about those other tests. What do these tests point to? Are they indicators of something?

Different interpretations by different docs it seemsIts tricky since most of the population has been Infected.Perhaps there are clues with the early
antigens,nuclear and abnormalities in t and b cell
lymphocytes.

Some say the igm is mostly present
only once in labs then typically doesnt appear
again These immune abnormalities can also be caused by other Infection or co infections that may exist though I do tend to think ebv is active in alot of cases.Perhaps in tissues or cerebrospinal fluid.

I often wonder does it present itself differently than mono as sometimes one doesn't have the fever,night sweats,swollen glands associated but has fatigue

If anyone may know more about these lab interpretations for the poster feel free to chime in
