A member asked:

So my ebv igg is 5.14 and igm is 0.68. why would it of went up since august. it was 3.44 igg and 0.58 for igm? do these numbers fluctuate

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Past EBV infection: You have normal level of igm which is below0.90 both times and positive igg test, which suggests a past infection eith eb virus and 3.44 or 5.14 both have the same message as past infection and increase may be just a number given by labs.You might have had infestion in recent past and that is why igg is higher.
