EBV - Reactivation / Chronic EBV

Posted by worriedmom123 @worriedmom123, Aug 6, 2023

Hi, My son (17) just got diagnosed with reactive / chronic EBV he is an athlete with dreams of playing in college. He is really struggling, and we cannot find a doctor to help him. This is his test results.
EBV VCA IgG (U/ML)
>750.0
Comments: Above high normal

EBV VCA IgM (U/ML)
< 0.0

EPSTEIN-BARR EARLY AG IgG (U/ML)
20.1
Comments: Above high normal

EPSTEIN-BARR NUCLEAR AG IgG (U/ML)
>600.0
Comments: Above high normal

His DNA PCR was negative.

He is resting and eating healthy with some supplements - a little worried to just start giving him a ton of stuff though. He is 3 months ( or longer) into this reactivation and just getting worse. He had mono in early 2022 and covid / Vaccine.

Worried this is progressing. We are willing to travel just need to find help!

Thanks!

Hi @denistenis, I'm tagging @worriedmom123 to make sure she sees your question to her about her son.

How is your daughter doing? What symptoms does she get and how does she manage them?
