Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus group, is the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis. EBV infections are difficult to diagnose in the laboratory since the virus does not grow in standard cell cultures.resence of VCA IgM antibodies indicates recent primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
