Infectious mononucleosis + CMV panel

Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus can be associated with similar symptoms, so in some situations a doctor requests a broader serological investigation. This panel includes antibodies to both viruses.

Who the panel is for

• people with symptoms for which a doctor is considering infectious mononucleosis
• people whose earlier test results need clarification
• people who need an appropriate method selected according to the duration of their symptoms
• people with particular health circumstances whose test is selected by a doctor

What the panel contains and shows

• EBV EA/VCA IgG: IgG antibodies included in this EBV panel. Their meaning is assessed according to the method and combination of other results.
• EBV EBNA IgG: antibodies associated with a later phase of the immune response, which help distinguish infection patterns.
• EBV VCA IgM: antibodies that may support assessment of a recent infection, alongside other indicators and the timing of symptom onset.
• CMV IgG and CMV IgM: antibodies to cytomegalovirus. They are useful in investigating selected mononucleosis-like situations.
