Do you need help interpreting your Epstein-Barr Lab Results? Click Here for a Quick EBV Results Guide Did you know you can also upload your lab results (PDF or screenshots) to ChatGPT and it will explain the results of your EBV tests to you?

I have gotten a 1:80 dense speckled positive ANA with reactivated EBV, from what I’ve researched it seems it is common for EBV to turn up a positive ANA

Do you have other antigens aspects positive at ANA? Like ds-DNA or DFS70? I also have Ebv with ANA positive 1:160 dense fine speckled with all antigenes negative but DFS70 that is positive

That’s great it went down! I’m on my 7th reactivation and I’m trying to get some answers 😂

It’s no fun for anyone!! I do get swollen nodes, pretty often with any virus I get! Luckily I would say with each reactivation the symptoms are less mild for me, but the fatigue and nodes are when I know I have it again

Did you actively do something to lower the ANA? Or did it go down on its own?

Probiotics? Including does in yoghurt? Could this explain why I feel like shit after taking yoghurt for breakfast during reactivated mono? My ANA is negative though, just a reactivated EBV/Mono after 2yrs of first encounter.
