Children are largely immune to its effects, but infection in older people can cause a condition called infectious mononucleosis. Long-term infection is, in very rare cases, linked to the development of some forms of cancer. What is Epstein-Barr virus? It is a member of the herpes family of human viruses. Who is at risk? Young children are usually protected from infection because their immune systems are primed while they are still in the womb. However, this immunity gradually wears off as they get older. The vast majority of EBV infections in children either cause no symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. However, when EBV infection occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis in up to 50% of cases. What are the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis?

These viruses are closely related members of the gamma herpesvirus family and are similar to each other with respect to genomic structure and gene organisation. The EBV genome is composed of linear, double-stranded DNA, which is approximately 172 kb in length (see Fig. 1a; ), and regions of the EBV genome have become known by their position on a Bam HI restriction endonuclease map of the genome (see Fig. 1b EBV is orally transmitted and infectious virus can be detected in oropharyngeal secretions from infectious mononucleosis (IM) patients, from immunosuppressed patients and, at lower levels, from healthy EBV-seropositive individuals (Ref. ). EBV enters B cells by interaction of the major viral glycoprotein gp350/220 with the complement receptor (CR2/CD21, which is the receptor for complement component C3d). The penetration of B cells by EBV also involves the viral glycoproteins gp25 (gL) and gp42/38 in a complex with viral gp85 (gH). This complex mediates an interaction between EBV and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, which serve as a co-receptor for virus entry into B cells (Ref. Crosslinking of CD21 activates B cells from their resting state. Some of the immediate effects that occur simply from this binding event include Lck activation and calcium (Ca

Extractions: Epstein-Barr Virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the herpes virus family and is a very common infective agent. It is estimated that as many as 95% of all adults have been infected by the time they reach 40 years of age, though most people are infected by the time they reach 20. In more than half the population, EBV infections have no associated symptoms but the virus often causes infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) with resulting fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. It is rarely fatal in temperate regions but, in the tropics, it is associated with two forms cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Once Epstein-Barr virus has infected the body, it remains semi-dormant in both the immune system and in the throat. It then retains the ability to infect new people via the saliva - hence the title, the kissing disease. It does not appear to be transmissable via the blood or through the air. Epstein-Barr virus is relevant to multiple sclerosis because several studies have shown that people with MS have higher than expected levels of antibodies to the virus.

Extractions: Pages: c. xii + 766 Chapter abstracts How to Order EpsteinBarr virus (EBV) is a human gamma herpes virus that remains one of the most successful viral parasites known to man. It is the etiological agent of infectious mononucleosis and is the major biological cofactor contributing to a number of human cancers including B-cell neoplasms (e.g. Burkitt¹s lymphoma, Hodgkin¹s disease and immunoblastic lymphomas), certain forms of T-cell lymphoma, and some epithelial tumours (e.g. nasopharyngeal carcinomas and gastric carcinomas). The virus has the unique ability to persist in the infected, apparently healthy host for life. Understanding the molecular interaction between EBV and its human host, the ability of the virus to modulate the host immune system, its ability to ³hide² in B-memory cells and factors that trigger viral reactivation are fundamental to understanding the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of the virus. This is critical for the development of strategies for the prevention and control of infection and disease. In this book, world renowned EBV experts provide a critical and comprehensive review of every aspect of this important virus. By integrating genetic, immunologic, and cell biologic approaches to elucidate pathogenesis, penetrating new insights into the molecular and cellular interaction between EBV and its human host have emerged. Topics covered include: Discovery, history and seroepidemiology, EBV and the immune response, EBV genetics, EBV infection and persistence, latency, lytic proteins and reactivation control, vaccine approaches, animal models, and the future of EBV studies. This is essential reading for all EBV virologists as well as clinical and research scientists working on oncogenic viruses.

Infection with EBV is very common. In the United States, about 50% of all children 5 years of age and nearly 95% of adults have had an EBV infection. Most of these infections produce symptoms similar to those of a cold or other mild viral illness. Sometimes, however, teenagers and young adults develop different and more severe symptoms from EBV infection. This illness is called infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis is named for the presence of large numbers of white blood cells (mononuclear cells) in the bloodstream. Teenagers and young adults usually catch infectious mononucleosis by kissing or having other intimate contact with someone infected with EBV.

In a typical scenario, a Russian would sneak into the United States and live discreetly for years. Then, after getting a signal from Moscow to carry out an assassination or another nefarious task, the agent would emerge as a ruthless killer, and the good guys would try to stop him. Think of Epstein-Barr virus as a microscopic sleeper agent. VIRAL KISS. Epstein-Barr virus (dark sphere) infects up to 95 percent of adults. Hutt-Fletcher/ Effects of Microbes on the Immune System Usually picked up in early childhood, it infects almost all adults. However, most don't know they have it. Among the few who know are teenagers and others who come down with the usually mild condition known as mononucleosis. Spread by saliva, the energy-sapping state is also known as the kissing disease. When not causing illness, the virus seems to reside quietly inside B cells, the immune system's antibody-making factories. "The natural reaction of the public is that it's a pretty benign virus," notes Paul Lieberman of the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. "The worst-case scenario, one imagines, is mononucleosis, so why worry about it? Basically, the pharmaceutical industry feels the same way."

Extractions: Encyclopedia Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpesvirus that is the major cause of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with a number of cancers, particularly lymphomas in immunosuppressed persons, including persons with AIDS. Epstein-Barr is a ubiquitous virus, so common that it has been difficult to determine whether it is the cause of certain diseases or whether it is simply there as an artifact. In Third World nations, most children are infected with EBV; in most industrialized nations, about 50% of the people are infected. Research has found that all of the lymphomas associated with AIDS and most lymphomas in other immunocompromised persons are connected with latent EBV infection. EBV has been found in biopsy tissue of patients with Hodgkin's disease , breast cancer, and some smooth muscle tumors. EBV also was formerly suspected as the cause of

Dr. Koop - Epstein-Barr Virus Test
This is a blood test used to detect to the epsteinbarr virus () antigens.
http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/003513.html

Extractions: How the test is performed: Blood is drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The puncture site is cleaned with antiseptic, and an an elastic band is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and restrict blood flow through the vein. This causes veins below the band to fill with blood. A needle is inserted into the vein, and the blood is collected in an air-tight vial or a syringe. During the procedure, the band is removed to restore circulation. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding. For an infant or young child, the area is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a sharp needle or a lancet. The blood may be collected in a pipette (small glass tube), on a slide, onto a test strip, or into a small container. Cotton or a bandage may be applied to the puncture site if there is any continued bleeding.

When children become infected with EBV, these infections usually cause no symptoms or appear like other mild, brief childhood illnesses. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis Children with infectious mononucleosis may have sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils and glands (lymph nodes) in the neck. In young people, the disease is often abrupt in onset with deep tiredness, aching muscles, fever, swollen tonsils, and enlarged neck glands. Sometimes an enlarged spleen or liver may develop. To prevent serious injury to the liver or spleen, contact sports should be avoided until fully recovered. There may be a short or drawn out period (days or weeks) after the initial illness when the tiredness continues and they may feel depressed. The symptoms related to infectious mononucleosis usually resolve in 1 to 2 months and seldom last more than 4 months. When such an illness lasts more than 6 months, it is frequently called
Epstein-Barr Virus
Answer EBV is the short name for epsteinbarr virus infection, also called Mononucleosis, epstein-barr virus hepatitis after liver transplantation.
http://www.classkids.org/library/classqa/ebv.htm

Extractions: Question: I was a living donor for my son and I tested positive for EBV. So far, our son has tested negative and sometimes borderline positive for EBV. He had IV ganciclovir for 100 days post-transplant and is now on oral acyclovir four times a day for a year. How long do we need to be concerned that he may get full blown EBV, and what will that mean to him medically if he does? Answer: EBV is the short name for Epstein-Barr Virus infection, also called Mononucleosis, "Mono," and the "kissing disease." This virus is a member of the family of Herpes viruses that includes Herpes Simplex, which causes "cold sores" on the lips and mouth as well as genital Herpes; Herpes Zoster which causes Chicken Pox and Shingles; and CMV or cytomegalovirus, a virus that commonly infects post-transplant patients. About 85% of adult Americans will test "positive" for EBV antibodies, which means they have been exposed to the disease in the past. All of the diseases in the Herpes family share the common element that the infection can occur multiple times. This process is called "reactivation." It happens because the body doesnt really eliminate the virus; rather the virus becomes dormant in cells, only to reemerge at a later date. Since the virus is not eliminated, organs from anyone who has ever been exposed to EBV can transmit the virus to the recipient.
