[Effect of the Epstein-Barr virus on the nervous system]
Abstract:
On the basis of a comprehensive examination of 12 patients with verified Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection it has been shown that this infection can be accompanied by acute and chronic affections of the central and peripheral nervous system. The pathogenesis of chronic EBV-infection involves autoimmune disorders, neurosensitization, a hazard of an injury to the muscular tissue. Chronic EBV-infection calls for differential diagnosis with other slow virus infections, systemic tumor afflictions, systemic diseases of the connective tissue. Acyclovir or valacyclovir can be recommended as treatment of acute and chronic EBV-infection.
