Epsteine-Barr Virus

Epsteine-Barr Virus
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) belongs to the herpes family of viruses. It is sometimes referred to as Human Herpes Virus-4 (HHV-4).
EBV infection can be subclinical, which means that a person is carrying the virus but does not have overt symptoms, or it can be clinical and cause infectious mononucleosis.
The classical symptoms of mononucleosis are fatigue, fever, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes; however, people may have all or only some of these symptoms.
EBV has also been linked with chronic fatigue syndrome, an illness characterized by severe to debilitating fatigue that impairs daily function and is often made worse by exertion, exercise, headache, sore throat, and other stresses. It may be accompanied by enlarged, painful lymph nodes; sore throat; headache; painful joints; abdominal pain; muscle pain; low-grade fever; and cognitive difficulty, especially difficulty concentrating and sleeping.
EBV is associated with other, potentially life-threatening diseases, including lymphomas and autoimmune diseases.
Hodgkins disease and non-Hodgkins lymphoma are malignant processes whereby cancer cells arising from the immune and lymphatic systems proliferate beyond normal levels.
An autoimmune process is where the body’s immune cells react to its own tissues and cause inflammation and damage.
