Purpose of the test

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) belongs to the herpesvirus family and is the cause of many different disorders, including mononucleosis. Because it is an oncogenic virus, it is associated with the development of some cancers, including nasopharyngeal cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma or PTLD (in patients after allo-HSCT).

In Diagmol.pl you can perform a specialized test for EBV from lymphocytes, which we offer in our offer. Diagnostics for the presence of this dangerous virus will allow you to quickly start treatment, and thus avoid health complications. EBV infection occurs as a result of contact with the saliva of another person, and in the majority of the population this condition is asymptomatic. Unfortunately, untreated condition can lead to dangerous cancers within mucous membrane cells or to mononucleosis.

Indications for performing the test

If the presence of EBV is suspected, the diagnosis includes mucous membranes, and the examination itself is painless and non-invasive. Depending on individual needs, the sample can be taken from plasma or lymphocytes. Tests in this category are aimed especially at patients who are distinguished by low immunity of the body. Infection can also occur in people who have undergone organ or tissue transplantation in the recent past and have taken immunosuppressive drugs.
