Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a widespread human ⲩ-herpesvirus, infects nearly 90% of the global population by adulthood. While often asymptomatic in early life, EBV is linked to serious conditions - from infectious mononucleosis to certain lymphomas, sarcomas, and carcinomas.
So why is it important to test for EBV? How is it diagnosed? And what does a diagnosis mean?
Join Dr. Foley from Kaiser Permanente as he explores EBV’s pathogenesis and the latest diagnostic approaches. This session will provide valuable insights into EBV testing methodologies and the challenges faced by clinical laboratories.
Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your knowledge of EBV and its diagnostic landscape!
At the end of this webinar, you should be able to:
- Describe the phases of EBV infection and the public health implications
- Compare and contrast different testing methodologies in determining EBV infection
- Interpret results from a typical EBV serological profile using specific serological tests
