Mononucleosis rarely leads to a serious condition called chronic EBV infection. In chronic EBV infection, you have long-lasting symptoms and a viral infection that lasts longer than usual after your original mononucleosis diagnosis.
Chronic active Epstein–Barr virus disease is usually defined as a chronic illness lasting at least 6 months, an increased EBV level in either the tissue or the blood, and lack of evidence of a known underlying immunodeficiency (15).
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives. EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva.
Epstein-Barr is the virus that causes mononucleosis. You might know this disease better by its nickname, "mono." It's also called the "kissing disease" because of one way you can spread it to someone else. Even though Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) isn't a household name, you've probably been infected without knowing it.
Diagnosis. Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is diagnosed based on the symptoms, a clinical exam and high EBV DNA in the blood which persists for at least 3 months. A test known as a quantitative PCR test is used to measure the amount of EBV DNA.
EBV is the cause of infectious mononucleosis (also termed "mono"), an illness associated with symptoms and signs like:fever,fatigue,swollen tonsils,headache, and.sweats,sore throat,swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and.sometimes an enlarged spleen (BPH, benign prostatic hyper dysplasia),
Epstein-Barr infects B cells—a type of white blood cell in the immune system. This may explain the association between Epstein-Barr and the EBNA2 disorders: All seven are autoimmune diseases, conditions involving an abnormal immune response to a normal body part.
Immunosuppressive agents, such as corticosteroids and cyclosporine, are often used to temporarily reduce symptoms in patients with CAEBV. These agents have been successful for treating hemophagocytic syndrome which is a frequent complication of CAEBV (19).
Lately discovered chronic fatigue syndrome is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
EBV infection increases a person's risk of getting nasopharyngeal cancer (cancer of the area in the back of the nose) and certain types of fast-growing lymphomas such as Burkitt lymphoma. It may also be linked to Hodgkin lymphoma and some cases of stomach cancer.
Symptoms of EBV-related infectious mononucleosisFatigue.Fever, but not always chills; the fever caused by an EBV infection is typically low-grade.Swollen lymph glands, also known as lymphadenopathy.A sore throat, also known as pharyngitis.Nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite.Enlarged tonsils.Headaches.
Many people are exposed to EBV as kids. But that doesn't always mean you'll get mono. You can carry the virus in your body for your entire life without ever having symptoms of mono. EBV is part of the herpes virus family.
