Find Clarity About Your Fatigue and Symptoms
When persistent exhaustion, unexplained fever, or swollen glands disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our Epstein-Barr Virus VCA IgM Test provides the answers you need to understand whether your symptoms relate to active mononucleosis infection. For thousands of South Africans each year, this test brings peace of mind and clear direction for recovery.
Understanding Your EBV VCA IgM Test
This specialised blood test detects IgM antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus viral capsid antigen – markers that indicate you’re currently fighting an active EBV infection. Unlike other EBV tests that show past exposure, the VCA IgM specifically identifies active mononucleosis, giving you and your doctor precise information about your current health status.
Our advanced Enzyme Immunoassay technology ensures 99% accuracy, providing reliable results that form the foundation of your treatment plan. The test requires just 2mL of blood serum with no special preparation needed, making it convenient and straightforward.

- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
