Overview:
Aid in the diagnosis of acute EBV infection (infectious mononucleosis).
Weakly positive results require cautious interpretation.
The results for this test are not by themselves diagnostic and should be considered in association with other clinical data and patient symptoms.
This test is intended for qualitative determination only. The numeric value of the final result above the cutoff is not indicative of the amount of EBV-VCA antibody.
Set up and reported Monday thru Friday.
