Serologic profile of Epstein-Barr virus infection in acute infectious mononucleosis

Abstract: The aim of our study was to determine classes of antibodies in different clinical forms of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) primary infections. The investigation included 100 patients with acute mononucleosis who were hospitalized at the Clinic for Infectious Diseases in Novi Sad during 1995-1997. Apart from clinical and laboratory parameters, 5 different ELISA assays were performed: IgM EBVVCA, IgG EBVVCA, IgG EBNA, IgA EBVEA and IgG EBVEA. All patients were IgM EBVVCA positive, only 42% IgG EBVVCA positive and 6% Ig… Show more

“…As mentioned, heterophile tests are commonly performed as point-ofcare tests and are infrequently carried out at large reference laboratories. Tests for EA may be useful in cases of acute IM, but the detection of antibodies to EA is often transient and variable (3,12). Testing for anti-EA IgG is generally of significant benefit only under select clinical circumstances, including the differentiation of primary and reactivated viral infections (26) and the serologic evaluation of patients with EBV-associated malignancies (e.g., nasopharyngeal carcinoma) (10).…”
