High levels of antibodies may suggest autoimmune reactivity which, if not addressed, can eventually lead to the development of autoimmune disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpstein Barr Virus infection can play a role in the pathogenesis of many systemic autoimmune conditions, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease and many more. This is due to molecular mimicry between Epstein Barr Virus antigens and human tissue proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mimicry occurs when antibodies produced against viral antigens also attack the body's own tissues. It is thought that subsequent viral infections further aggravate the disease by activating the immune response against viral and self antigens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is recommended for those who are genetically predisposed to autoimmune disease, or who have a history of exposure to environmental risk factors (such as infections from Epstein Barr Virus).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRelevant symptoms\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbdominal pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigestive problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecurring fever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwollen glands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the test measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEpstein-Barr Virus markers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgG Epstein-Barr VCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgM Epstein-Barr VCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgG Early Antigen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgG EB Nuclear Antigen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgM EB Nuclear Antigen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis test requires a blood sample via a blood draw procedure, which must be performed by a doctor or phlebotomist.
