EBV Epstein Barr Virus? Help!?


I was just diagnosed with EBV with a high Nuclear Antigen IgG of 620 and a high VCA IgG of 2438. (normal range for both is 0-99). This seems really high. My question is will these numbers eventually go down? Also, is there a way to determine how long ago I was infected? I read the CDC website about how to read the results but it just says past infection, I would love to pinpoint more specifically when I could have gotten it. Could I get it from a dentist visit?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein-Bar... it is transmitted via saliva and does not play alone usually INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS or kissing disease and african burkette

most cases of mono are actually infectious when a youngster. most of the worlds population (about 95%) have ebv antibodies. there is a base normal line. anything above that number means it is active, anything below a certain number it is inactive.

as always ebv is a virus it can reactivate at any time and is the cause of certain types of cancers.

just part of being a human.

now, if you feel bad all the time your normal might be different than what they consider normal. it could also mean that maybe you are being misdiagnosed. many of us heppers infected with hcv have also tested positive for ebv titers.
many who have done successful treatment for hepatitis c have had their ebv levels reduce under what is considered normal.

good luck
