Comparison of Technics for Determination of Epstein-Barr Virus Serological Diagnosis

The serological diagnosis of EBV infection was performed in the Amiens University Hospital virology laboratory (France). 91 routinely collected samples were analyzed by Immulite, Architect, and Liaison Blood samples were centrifuged for 15 min at 2500g at room temperature. Sera were aliquoted and first analyzed by Immulite. All samples were tested for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM and EBV EBNA IgG in order to determine infection status (primary EBV infection, past infection, absence of infection and indeterminate status).
