EBV-IgM

Aliases: Epstein-Barr virus IgM

Group: Virus

Description:

The EBV-IgM blood test is used to detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). IgM antibodies are typically produced during the early stages of an EBV infection, indicating a recent or ongoing infection. This test is valuable for diagnosing conditions related to EBV, such as infectious mononucleosis. The presence of EBV-IgM antibodies in the blood suggests that the body is in the early stages of fighting the virus.
