   Extractions: Epstein-Barr Virus and Infectious Mononucleosis DISEASE INFORMATION Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. In the United States, as many as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected. Infants become susceptible to EBV as soon as maternal antibody protection (present at birth) disappears. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually cause no symptoms or are indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. In the United States and in other developed countries, many persons are not infected with EBV in their childhood years. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time. Symptoms of infectious mononucleosis are fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. Sometimes, a swollen spleen or liver involvement may develop. Heart problems or involvement of the central nervous system occurs only rarely, and infectious mononucleosis is almost never fatal. There are no known associations between active EBV infection and problems during pregnancy, such as miscarriages or birth defects. Although the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis

   Extractions: of Science Sponsored by Glandular fever, a common disease in teenagers, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Australian research on the Epstein-Barr virus has led to a glandular fever vaccine, which is currently being trialled. You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of the immune system Printer-friendly version of complete topic Like most good things in life, kissing can be hazardous to your health. Pucker up to someone and you risk infection with the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes glandular fever and other nasty diseases. But we might not have to give up kissing just yet. A vaccine currently under development in Australian laboratories could help limit the dangers posed by this sometimes deadly virus. In 1961, a surgeon working in Uganda, Denis Burkitt, presented the results of his research to staff at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in Britain. He reported that the incidence of a certain tumour in African children had a geographic distribution corresponding to rainfall and temperature patterns. The disease, which affects about 8 in every 100,000 children in parts of Africa and Papua New Guinea, quickly became known as Burkitt’s lymphoma. The influence of climate on its incidence seemed to suggest that some biological factor was involved. Three researchers, M.A. Epstein, Y.M. Barr and B.G. Achong, immediately began looking for possible cancer-causing viruses in samples of the tumour sent from Uganda to Britain.

   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 doesn’t 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.

   Chronic Fatigue Possibly Related to epsteinbarr virus Nevada. Persisting illness and fatigue in adults with evidence of epstein-barr virus infection.  
   http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000740.htm
   
   Extractions: From November 1984 through August 1985, approximately 90 patients evaluated for persistent fatigue were diagnosed as having chronic Epstein-Barr virus (CEBV) disease by a two-physician community internal medicine practice near Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The diagnoses were made by detecting antibody to the diffuse (EA-D) or the restricted (EA-R) components of early antigen of EBV, as suggested by two recent studies (1,2). Because of controversy about whether CEBV disease exists, two serologic studies were conducted to evaluate whether a syndrome of chronic fatigue could be statistically associated with a specific pattern of antibody titers against EBV. Fifteen "case" patients, felt to be the most likely to have CEBV, were identified by interviewing 134 of the 139 patients tested for EBV serology in the internal medicine practice between January 1, and August 20, 1985. By definition, these patients had persistent or relapsing unexplained fatigue for at least 2 months, which forced them to stop usual daily activities for at least 2 weeks. Other less universal symptoms included intermittent low-grade fever, sore throat, myalgias, arthralgias, and headaches. All 15 patients were white; 13 were female. The median age was 40 years (range 13-52 years). In the first serologic study, the 15 patients were compared with 118 of the 119 patients who had serologic testing for EBV (the serologic test results on one patient were not available). All 118 of these patients were white; 79 (66.9%) were female. The median age was 36 years (range 10-71 years). The case patients were more likely to have reciprocal EA-D titers of 160 or higher (45.5%, compared with 11.6%; p = 0.014) and EBV viral capsid antigen IgG (VCA-IgG) 160 or greater (80.0%, compared with 51.7%; p = 0.033) in the first serum tested. No evidence of acute EBV infection, manifested by positive IgM titers to VCA, was detected in either the cases or the others tested.

   Extractions: Epstein-Barr virus 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

    Extractions: the genome is large enough to code for 100 - 200 proteins but only a few have been identified. The proteins characterized thus far fall into the following groups : A._Latent_proteins 1. EB viral nuclear antigen complex (EBNA) - EBNA is now known to be a complex of at least 6 proteins ie. EBNA 1-6. Their functions have yet to be understood but EBNA 1 is thought to be essential for the maintenance of the episomal state of EBV in infected cells and binds to the origin of replication. EBNA 1 is expressed in all known virus carrying cells, but its expression may be lost when a lytic cycle ensues. EBNA 2 has two phenotypes, A and B, strain A, which is found mainly in Caucasians, is more efficient in immortalizing B lymphocytes than strain B, which is mainly found in Africa. However, neither strains have any specific disease association. 2. Latent membrane protein (LMP)

Once inside the virus releases its DNA content, which enters the nucleus and integrates into the hosts DNA. The viral proteins will then be expressed, to begin the formation of new virus. Pathology With EBV this process is not 100% effective, and a small population of EBV +ve cells will remain. This gives rise to life-long infection. Once EBV has been caught, it cannot be removed.

B cells, of the immune system, will secrete Antibody at a constant level throughout the cells life-span. B cells can become cancerous if a oncogene is placed next to the Antibody gene. Antibodies are produced in great excess, and as the oncogene is next door to the antibody, it too will be produced in excess. The Oncogene will result in a leukemia.

    Extractions: Author contact details Lymphocryptovirus genus. 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

How the test is performed Return to top 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.

    Extractions: Definition The Epstein-Barr virus test is a blood test, or group of tests, to determine the presence or absence of antibodies in the blood stream directed against proteins of the Epstein-Barr virus, the cause of infectious mononucleosis Purpose The test is primarily used to detect whether first time infection (called primary infection) with the Epstein-Barr virus is currently occurring, or has occurred within a short period of time. The pattern of the antibodies detected can, however, tell if the person has never been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, or if the infection occurred in the more distant past. These tests are mostly utilized in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis when the more common diagnostic test, the heterophile antibody, is negative, or in situations where the infection is manifesting unusual symptoms. Therefore, the tests are often not needed in a situation where a doctor believes that a person has mononucleosis and the heterophile test (also called the monospot test) is positive. In addition, Epstein-Barr virus testing is usually not needed in the evaluation of a patient who has long-lasting

Primary infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is primarily transmitted by saliva, actively replicates in the epithelial cells of the oropharynx and can subsequently infect recirculating B lymphocytes which may lead to acute infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever). Infectious mononucleosis is a benign lymphoproliferative disease that is usually seen in children, although most cases of EBV infection occur in early childhood and have no symptoms. It is characterised by transient immunosuppression and an unusual expansion of atypical lymphocytes, the majority of which are not B cells but CD8
