The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgM Antibody Test is a critical serological blood test used to detect IgM antibodies specific to the VCA protein of the EBV. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody produced by the body in response to a new infection.
Therefore, a positive VCA IgM result is the primary marker for a recent or acute primary EBV infection, most commonly known as Infectious Mononucleosis (or "mono").
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-accredited lab in Delhi, we provide accurate and timely EBV VCA IgM testing, essential for diagnosing acute EBV infection, especially when classic symptoms are present.
