A member asked:

Why is the ebv early antigen ab, igg (147 high range) & ebv ab vca igg (>600 high)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd statement: The early antibody is IgM. This comes out in the first weeks of infection and fades some after a month or two. IgG comes out after the IgM level peaks & starts to fade and may persist for a lifetime.
