Epstein Barr Viral Capsid Ag ,IgM

Epstein-Barr Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG is a blood test that detects IgG antibodies against the viral capsid antigen of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The presence of VCA IgG antibodies indicates a past or ongoing infection with EBV. These antibodies typically develop a few weeks after exposure to the virus and persist for life, providing long-term immunity. This test is often used to assess whether an individual has been infected with EBV in the past, helping to distinguish between acute, past, or reactivated EBV infections.
