Why This Biomarker Matters
EBV infection of the brain and spinal cord is rare but serious. Detecting it via CSF helps confirm CNS involvement and guide appropriate treatment for meningitis or encephalitis.
Overview
This test detects early IgG antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. EBV is a common virus that causes infectious mononucleosis. The presence of EBV antibodies in CSF suggests viral infection affecting the central nervous system, which is uncommon but serious. This test helps diagnose EBV-related meningitis or encephalitis.
