My EBV Test Results: Help Please

I was tested for EBV due to being in a research program which asked me to after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. I have been exhausted for a long time now although I still manage to do quite a bit.

These are my results:

EBV to VCA, IGG = 214.6
EBV to VCA, IGM < 10
EBV to NUCLEAR AG I = 79.9
EBV to EARLY AG IGG = 46

I'm not sure what this means. I have looked at a few different sites and it seems I have had EBV in the past and may be having a recurrance now, but I'm not sure. As far as I know I've never had a mono like event at all. But I have suffered from chronic bouts of fatigue and I've felt very fatigued after 2 hospitalizations and being on insulin etc.

I have also had flucutuating low wbc, mchc and mph. They were not very low. 3-4 months ago my gp did a more extensive blood count which showed some other numbers off, but she said it wasn't cause for concern. My last test last week showed low numbers again but only by .5 to 1 point from the range.

I also have mild fybromyalgia and chronic pain.

Thanks for your input :)

meowee, sorry you have not received any responses, this forum is not super active but we try. I would like to welcome you to the forum. I do not have EBV so I am no help with your questions & all of the numbers are Greek to me. Hopefully, someone will come along soon who can help you. Take care of yourself, hugs, Denise

I have EBV and many others, plus Chronic Lyme Disease.

Have you been tested for LYme??

Many with it have several viruses too.

In extensive research for the last 3 yrs. or so, I discovered that EBV is passed by most mothers to their babies and then it is reactivated later in life if one becomes ill, or has a low immune system which I do, it was tested and my CD-57 test showed a 17, normal is 200. You may consider getting this test. Beware most docs do not have a clue what it is, you must fight for it.
And it isn't cheap. I hope you have insurance to help.

Also, chronic Lyme is hard to get a positive test even though you have it. The bacteria, called Spirochetes, they hide in fat and in the brain and other places where the tests can't find them... so it is usually a clinical diagnosis. I would, if I were you, go online and research Chronic Lyme and i'ts co infections, and see the symptoms of lyme and Bartonella, and Babesia, which are two of several and the two I have.

Hope this helps hon.

I was noticing that you had vaccines. I already had chronic fatigue syndrome with chronic EBV with high titers showing reactivation/chronic myself. Wondered when you had those vaccines. I feel that made my resistance worse too when I had them end of 2011 with already a chronic and reactivated EBV going on. It was supposed to help my sinus infections that I was getting around 3 times a year or so. It made me so sick and I have not been able to completely regain my health either and have these infections even worse now and EBV titers that will not go down very much. Lately things have been lovely and my WBC is off too with low lymphs on the differential. I do not know what to think is going on. My lymph nodes are swollen too in neck and armpits and having the sinus symptoms and sore throats. I do hope you are feeling better.
