The Epstein Barr Virus (VCA) IgG test looks for antibodies to the Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) of EBV. EBV causes mononucleosis, which is a condition that causes fatigue, a sore throat, a fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a swollen spleen. Because the virus can be passed on through saliva, it's hazardous for people to get it from one person to another. These antibodies are found in the early stages of EBV infection and reach their peak 2-4 weeks after the infection starts. The test can also be done even if the person hasn't had any symptoms and has been close to the sick person.

A positive VCA IgG test result shows that an EBV infection is now active or has just occurred.

Why done? 

When symptoms of mononucleosis emerge without a positive mononucleosis test, the EBV-VCA test is used.

The test is also done on pregnant women who have flu-like symptoms.
