Frequently Asked Questions

Is fasting required for EBV VCA IgG test?

No, fasting is not required. The test can be performed on a non-fasting sample at any time of day.

How is the sample collected?

A venous blood sample of approximately 3 mL is collected in a plain serum separator tube. The sample is then processed to separate serum for ELISA analysis.

Can medications affect EBV VCA IgG results?

Most routine medications do not interfere with this test. However, immunosuppressive therapy or recent IVIG administration may alter antibody levels. Inform your doctor about all current medications.

What is the turnaround time for this test?

Reports are typically available within 24 hours. Verified PDF reports can be accessed via www.drpatholab.in or shared via WhatsApp/Email.

Does stress or diet affect EBV antibody levels?
