Viral infections - Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

Viral and parasitic infection loads, for instance Influenza A, Influenza B, Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV1), Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV2), Toxoplasma Gondii, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Procalcitonin, measured with traditional enzymatic tests, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA).

In TRAILS, Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) were assessed. IgG is the most common type of antibody and an indicator of immune response against pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. EBV is also known as the Human Herpes Virus 4 and has been linked to multiple disorders including Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Multiple Sclerosis. IgG and EBV were assessed from a blood sample using traditional enzymatic tests such as Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA).
