What is IgG positive for EBV nuclear antigen?

Positive EBV nuclear antigen IgG suggests possible Burkitt lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which should be treated with appropriate drugs or surgery. 1. Burkitt lymphoma: composed of small anaplastic cells with consistent morphology, it is a serious aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ advocate the palliative principle of observation and waiting, and if the disease progresses, it can be treated by single use of nitrogen mustard phenylbutyrate or cyclophosphamide, and stages Ⅲ and Ⅶ are mainly treated by CHOP regimen. 2. Nasopharyngeal cancer: PF program without metastasis is preferred, i.e. cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil; cisplatin is preferred for radiotherapy in the same period; nitolizumab is chosen for targeted therapy; cetuximab has better near-term efficacy for advanced localized nasopharyngeal cancer. When EBV nuclear antigen IgG is positive, one should consult a doctor in time to clarify the nature and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of specialized doctors.
