First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares three automated blood tests (Abbott Architect, Siemens Immulite, and Diasorin Liaison) for diagnosing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Researchers analyzed 91 blood samples from patients aged 3 to 82 to see how well each test detects key markers of EBV infection. The goal is to determine which test is most reliable for identifying different stages of EBV infection.
