Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis, which is the most common clinical manifestation of primary EBV infection. Infectious mononucleosis is not a trivial disease, but its importance is overshadowed by the disease burden due to the sequelae of primary EBV infection. This review focuses on the sequelae of EBV infection in the immunocompetent host. These include cancers of lymphoid and epithelial cells, and autoimmune diseases, especially multiple sclerosis (MS).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Virology, an esteemed international publication, serves as the official journal for both the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology. Dedicated to advancing the understanding of human virology in clinical settings, the Journal of Clinical Virology focuses on disseminating research papers and reviews pertaining to the clinical aspects of virology. Its scope encompasses articles discussing diagnostic methodologies and virus-induced clinical conditions, with an emphasis on practicality and relevance to clinical practice.
The journal publishes on topics that include:
• new diagnostic technologies
• nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing
• targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing
• emerging pandemic viral threats
• respiratory viruses
• transplant viruses
• chronic viral infections
• cancer-associated viruses
• gastrointestinal viruses
• central nervous system viruses
• one health (excludes animal health)
