Epstein Barr Nuclear AG AB IGG result of over 600

Posted by lsh @lsh, May 3, 2020

Hello, I am searching for information and also input because of my hideously high lab results for EBNA Nuclear AB IGG. My result was given as over 600. The range is less than 18 is negative. Over 22 is positive. To restate, my lab result is over 600.

I am 52. I did have mono at age 11. For at least four years I have complained on numerous times to my PCP of fatigue. We suspected thyroid but that has been treated and I still have suffered from bouts of fatigue, feeling like I was coming down with a bug, dizziness, etc for 3 or 4 days out of just about every month for the last eighteen months. I finally saw a naturopath who tested me for EBV.

I love my Naturopath, but I am wondering if I should be seeing a specialist because of this high lab result.
I am on a treatment plan of antiviral supplements, and immune supporting vitamins and supplements which she said will probably need to be taken for at least three months.

Has anyone else had numbers this high? I am having trouble finding much information on reactivated EBV.

Thank you!
Lisa

km, howdy, been reading your posts.
IGM-active infection
VCA IGG present for life and high in 200-600 range-normal. Immune response numbers for if reactivation occurs. Shows healthy high number for future response.
EA IGG Early active-your immune response is kicking in. Active infection.
EBNA IGG-Present for life like VCA. B Cell/memory cell copy of nucleus protien made to kill virus. 95% of ppl have this titer in numbers same as VCA.
5% of ppl do not make EBNA IGG titer. Like myself... further testing needs to be done to see if you are IGG Avidity or ELISA blood test. Will show past infection or acute from what I have read.
My titers are always
neg IGM
neg EA IGG
Pos VCA IGG >600
neg EBNA IGG
Same for 30 yrs... I am always tired... I drive for UPS and always sore..
