Hello! I have been working as a doctor for 22 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. In this article, I will talk about a chronic infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 4.
I somehow forgot, and yesterday I was reminded of this bike. People, it turns out, spend a lot of resources and time on the fight against this virus.
Epstein-Barr virus is the fourth type of herpes. Like our usual herpes, the Epstein-Barr virus quietly and peacefully settles in most people. Approximately 90 - 95% of adults carry it in themselves and do not suspect anything.
Most often, this virus is remembered as the cause of infectious mononucleosis. It is also called teen kissing disease. From him there is a sore throat, sometimes a rash and even less often some complications.
In fact, in most cases, the Epstein-Barr virus attacks us unnoticed, and then we have antibodies to this virus all our lives. And here interesting things begin.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
There is such a disease - chronic fatigue syndrome. People suffer greatly from it and it is not clear how to be treated. It is believed that the Epstein-Barr virus could be the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome. Nobody has proven it yet, but people like it. Have you presented?
You can take any person who complains of fatigue, find antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus in his blood, and the diagnosis is ready.
Some healers and charlatans take advantage of this. Well, their clients are happy to try. Many would like to justify their laziness with some kind of incurable virus. They call it chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Chronic infection
In fact, such a chronic infection is very rare. The Epstein-Barr virus is very aggressive towards some of the germs of our immunity. He makes them turn into tumors.
In a chronic infection, the virus constantly floats in the blood and continuously damages the bone marrow, in which the beginnings of immunity live.
This is rare. Usually Asians suffer from this. This is a terrible disease, and it certainly does not occur as often as we find it. Therefore, do not test in a laboratory without consulting a doctor. Otherwise, they will quickly take you into circulation and start pumping out resources.
