About
This study compared the performance of three automated immunoassays, Architect (Abbott), Immulite (Siemens) and Liaison (Diasorin), for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology. Ninety-one serum samples collected in Amiens University Hospital were analyzed for the presence of Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG and IgM and Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) IgG. The agreement between the three assays was calculated for each marker individually and for determination of the EBV profile, based on interpretation of the combination of these three EBV markers.

The serological diagnosis of EBV infection was performed in the Amiens University Hospital virology laboratory (France). The median age of patients was 34 years (mean: 38 years, range: 3-82 year) with a sex ratio of 50%. Sixteen of the 91 samples concerned children (<15 years).
