Epstein Barr VirusA large, ubiquitous, and normally benign, herpes like virus with both DNA and capsid. It is sometimes implicated in mononucleosis and at least two types of lymphomas. Recently it has been become connected with the symptom picture called chronic fatigue syndrome (as has been CMV) and can produce many illdefined (but subjectively distressful) symptoms, including fatigue, fevers of an unknown origin, and emotional liability. Immunosuppressant, from whatever cause, allows the syndrome to occur. Many people in and out of medicine have come to regard it as both another form of Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCCOY, naturally) and a sequel to excessive medical use of immunosuppressant anti inflammatories.
