At the end of November, I started to feel ill with some flu like symptoms such as body aches, chills, fever (102.2), drenching night sweats, chest pain (left side), shortness of breath, and severe fatigue.I have been in and out of the ER over the past month with visits to Hematology and Infectious disease until I get these results.
Now here’s where my frustration maxes out. I get a phone call from the ID Dr. who says I tested positive for EBV so I have mono and ill get better with rest and hangs up. So, I go to my primary Dr. and get copies of the EBV results and I almost lose my mind. Mind you, I am a relatively healthy 37yo Male who never had mono and have never been tested for it in the past.
EBV early diffuse Ab.igG 124.00 (H) (I assume this is the EBV EA test). (EBV EA)
EBV Capsid Ab.igM 67.60 (H) (EBVigM)
EBV Capsid Ab.igG 169.00 (H) (EBVigG)
EBV Nuclear Ab.igG 506.00 (H) (EBNA)
This test was drawn from me on Jan 5th, just over a month from when symptoms started showing up. Now the ID Dr. tells me I have mono, yet I show no signs of mono and most importantly as noted from the CT Scan my neck and chest Lymph nodes are not swollen and I have no sore throat. Also the monospot done at the ER was negative.
From my research I found that someone who has elevated levels of EBNA along with elevated levels of EBV EA shows a reactivation of the EB virus from the latent stage it was in. Am I correct on this? Any help would be great.
Also note my CBC is all over the place with low WBC, low RBC, low platelets,other tests show High B12, high LDH and lots of other abnormalities.
