Chronic active EBV infection or in its expanded form, chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection is a very rare and often fatal complication of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection that most often occurs in children or adolescents of Asian or South American lineage, although cases in Hispanics, Europeans and Africans have been reported. [1]
There are several forms of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection. These include asymptomatic infections, the primary infection, infectious mononucleosis, and the progression of asymptomatic or primary infections to: 1) any one of various Epstein–Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases such as chronic active EBV infection, EBV+ hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Burkitt's lymphoma ...
The disease develops as a complication or progression of either Epstein–Barr virus-positive infectious mononucleosis (EPV+ IM) or chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection (CAEBV)., [1] that is, as a worsening of the signs/symptoms some three weeks after the onset of an EBV+ IM-like disease or an any time during the course of CAEBV.
The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family, and is one of the most common viruses in humans. EBV is a double-stranded DNA virus and is also called human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4). [2] Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is the first identified oncogenic virus, or a virus that can cause cancer. EBV ...
Infectious mononucleosis (IM, mono), also known as glandular fever, is an infection usually caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). [2] [3] Most people are infected by the virus as children, when the disease produces few or no symptoms. [2]
Epstein–Barr virus positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+ DLBCL, NOS) is a form of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) accounting for around 10-15% of DLBCL cases. DLBCL are lymphomas in which B-cell lymphocytes proliferate excessively, invade multiple tissues, and often causes life-threatening tissue damage.
XLP-positive individuals experience immune system deficiencies that render them unable to effectively respond to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), [3] a common virus in humans that typically induces mild symptoms or infectious mononucleosis (IM) in patients. [5] There are two currently known variations of the disorder, known as XLP1 (XLP Type 1 ...
EBV appears to cause all nonkeratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinomas, Epstein–Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified, [14] diffuse large B-cell lymphomas associated with chronic inflammation, [14] Epstein–Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcers, [15] Lymphomatoid granulomatoses [16] and, in many cases ...
