Condition
Herpes virus causing glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis).

Recipient (and ?donor)
Guidance at RECRUITMENT
ACCEPTABLE
Guidance at CT
ACCEPTABLE
Guidance at Work-up
The following serological tests should be obtained
• VCA-IgM
• VCA-IgG
• (EBNA-IgG)
Outcomes and recommended actions based on EBV serology and PCR:
Potential serology/PCR combinations:
1) VCA-IgM neg AND VCA-IgG pos or neg.
''Donor can be cleared - transplant centre should be informed for serological/PCR status
2) VCA-IgM-pos AND VCA-IgG and/or EBNA positive
Inform the TC and proceed donation without EBV-DNA PCR
3)VCA-IgM-pos AND VCA-IgG and/or EBNA weak or negative
Request EBV-DNA PCR
a) If EBV-DNA PCR negative--> inform the TC and proceed donation
b) If EBV-DNA PCR positive --> inform the TC, donation will have to be postponed and EBV serology repeated after 1 month.
Justification for guidance
Primary EBV infection or reactivation in a transplant recipient is associated with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, amongst other morbidity.
