I am a 30 y/o old male. I have been diagnosed with a recent EBV infection. Here are the lab numbers, which I find odd:

VCA (IGM) = 1.31H
VCA (IGG) = 3.70H
EBNA (IGG) = > 5.0H
White Blood Cell Count (WBC) = 5.5 thousand/uL (which is well within healthy range)

I have not had fever or a sore throat however I have been feeling strange for about 3 months. I have a bit of light sensitivity, swelling around the eyes, and I am dizzy at times when I turn my head. What I really want to know is could I have had mono without a fever or a sore throat? Thank you.
