Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

anti-VCA-IgM is the antibody that would be detectable earliest in the infection and indicates a current infection. Anti-EA-IgG and anti-EBNA are antibodies that develop later in the infection, while anti-VCA-IgG can persist for years after the infection has resolved. Therefore, C is the best choice as it reflects an early and current infection.
