The Epstein Barr Virus Early Antigen IgG Test checks for IgG antibodies linked to active or recent EBV activity. It is also called EBV EA IgG or EBV Early Antigen IgG antibody. If this is on your lab order, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that fits your day.
You may also see it listed as EBV EA D IgG or EBV Early Antigen antibody IgG. This blood test looks for IgG antibodies to the EBV early antigen. These antibodies can appear during active infection or reactivation. Results are usually read together with other EBV tests to tell past from recent infection.
Common reasons: ongoing fever and sore throat, very tired for weeks, swollen neck glands, unclear results on other EBV tests, or your doctor is checking for possible EBV reactivation. Your provider may pair this with VCA IgM, VCA IgG, and EBNA IgG to get the full picture.
Check in with your ID and lab order. A tech cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood. A bandage goes on and you can leave. Plan for about 15 to 30 minutes for the visit.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Tell the team if you recently had a blood transfusion or IVIG treatment, since that can affect antibody results.
No fasting: you can usually eat and drink as normal unless your doctor says otherwise. Hydrate: water can make the draw easier. Medications: take them as prescribed unless told not to and bring a list. Timing: heavy workouts right before the draw are not helpful, so keep activity light. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Mononucleosis, long lasting fatigue, recurring sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, lingering fever, and mild liver test changes. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before any next steps.
