I was diagnosed with ebv about 3 years ago...and from my understanding it is the virus that causes mono, and that when you have quote ebv your system was exposed to the virus and just can't get together enough ebv antibodies to comepletly destroy it. So, it lingers causing a break down in your immunine system. My personal experience was that my cells could not hold onto enough sodium causing my immunine system to be minimal. Which elavated my ebv count high enough to cause a cold to last 6 weeks. I sought treatment through a homeopath and am doing much better.
