Why This Biomarker Matters

EBV antibodies in spinal fluid indicate serious brain or spinal cord infection. This finding requires urgent specialist evaluation and may influence treatment decisions for CNS complications.

Overview

This test detects Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. EBV antibodies in CSF indicate the virus has infected the central nervous system, suggesting conditions like meningitis, encephalitis, or post-viral neurological complications. This test is performed when patients have neurological symptoms and suspected EBV involvement. A positive result in CSF is more significant than in blood and indicates serious CNS infection requiring urgent evaluation.
