  • Title: Manifestations of relapsing Epstein-Barr virus illness.
    Author: Simon MW.
    Journal: J Ky Med Assoc; 1997 Jun; 95(6):240-3. PubMed ID: 9198354.
    Abstract:
    The Epstein-Barr Virus is well known for its pattern of communicability and features of clinical disease. It is a member of the herpes virus family and may establish a latency state in infected individuals. Characteristics of latency and reactivation have been well defined for both herpes and varicella. The Epstein-Barr Virus has been shown to establish a latency state within B lymphocytes, salivary gland epithelium, and oropharyngeal epithelial cells. Reactivation of the virus from these sites could produce relapse of EBV illness. Characteristics of relapse are described in this report.
