Question
What does EBV-IGG positivity indicate? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does the treatment usually last?
Answer
EBV-IGG antibodies showing a weak positivity suggest a past infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. This test is one of the standards for diagnosing nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but it does not necessarily mean that you have nasopharyngeal carcinoma. People who have been infected with this virus have a higher incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared to those who have not. Therefore, regular check-ups are crucial. Once diagnosed, active symptomatic treatment should be pursued to avoid delaying the condition and missing the best treatment opportunity.
