I had similar results from an EB panel. I had mono a little over a year ago and suspected a reactivation a month ago. The doctor I went to only took the heterophile test so there was no way to know if I tested positive because of antibodies or active infection. I recently asked my primary care physician for an EBV antibody panel because I have a recurrent sore throat, post nasal drip and fatigue and was suspecting ME/CFS. In the results of my EBV panel, the Capsid IgG was 133 and the nuclear IgG was >600. My primary care seems unconcerned and just said it means I had it in the past but don’t have an active or recent infection. Does the super high nuclear IgG mean anything? Does this signify CFS? Can CFS be mild? I do feel fatigue very often and I feel like I hit a wall of tiredness sometimes and I just can’t do anything. I am pretty much able to hold down a full time job but I have to take many days off and my employer has expressed concern about that. I might just be paranoid but I feel like something is off here. Thank you to anyone who reads and replies!

Also if it helps I am 22 years old and female. My doctor ended up diagnosing me with allergies for the sore throat and PND which seems correct. I guess I’ll see if the Claritin helps.

It seems lots of us have a hard time getting information, especially when numbers don't clearly indicate a diagnosis...just what they say it is NOT. I am still trying to figure out which EBV panel is the "nuclear" IGG and which the "capsid" IGG!! How did you learn the difference? And what IS the difference? Which one is "abnormal"?

I certainly understand how tiresome the continual fatigue is!!
