It is also associated with various types of human cancers.A large, ubiquitous, and normally benign, herpeslike virus with both DNA and capsid. It is sometimes implicated in mononucleosis and at least two types of lymphomas. It has been recently directly connected with the symptom picture called chronic fatigue syndrome (as has been CMV) and can produce many ill-defined (but subjectively distressful) symptoms, including fatigue, fevers of an unknown origin (FUO-love those acronyms!), and emotional lability. Immunosuppression, from whatever cause, allows the syndrome to occur.The organism that causes the most common form of infectious mononucleosis.One of the most common human viruses and a member of the herpes virus family. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was discovered in 1964. EBV affects people worldwide, infecting most people at some point in their lives. Most infections with EBV cause no symptoms. Children sometimes acquire infection with EBV and have only mild, brief illnesses or are without symptoms altogether.The virus thought to be the causative agent of glandular fever.The virus that causes glandular fever or infectious mononucleosis. It is similar to the viruses that cause herpes and is associated with Burkitt's lymphoma. It has been accused of precipitating some attacks of myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome.A member of the herpes virus family, discovered in 1964. It is one of the causes of infectious mononucleosis. In South African children, it is associated with Burkitt’s lymphoma; in Asian populations, with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.A virus within the herpes family that is associated with mononucleosis in adolescence and young adulthood but is typically asymptomatic in adults by the age of 40.
