concern of test results

by baldie2525, Oct 01, 2009 07:30AM

My doc told me I had mono based on the fact that my VCA igm was positive, but my VCA igg was negative. Is this a correct diagnosis? All the post i have seen with current infections both the igm and igg were positive.

The viral capsid antigen (VCA)-IgM, VCA-IgG and D early antigen (EA-D) is to detect a current or recent infection

The VCA-IgG and Epstein Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) detects a previous infection

So correct me if im wrong, but by having a negative igg and positive igm, I am in the early stages of Mono?
