Long Term Chronic EBV

pvn
Has anyone experienced long-term issue with elevated EBV numbers going up and down, but aways elevated numbers? Which, I think, is termed "chronic/active infection."

If so, how long did it last? Or, is lasting...

So glad to hear the good news about your chest and other. Hope you are feeling better and better. It's just so nice to get at least some of the answers, isn't it!  My ENR wants the hemo to give me the SSB and SSA, and T & B Lymphocytes Differential tests...and anything else hemo wants to give. Have you had any of those?

How long did you take antibiotics? Did you have any bad or lasting side results from it?
Did you, or, are you taking anti-virals? Any lasting side effects?
