Thank you! :) --------------------------------------------------------- 5 most common diseases associated with Epstein-Barr #5: Infectious Mononucleosis We could say infectious mononucleosis, or mono, is an EBV infection.But because about 10% of mono cases are the result of other viruses, we can’t. Scientists categorize ‘kissing disease’ as an EBV-associated disorder.But infectious mononucleosis most commonly describes the worst symptoms of an EBV infection. It’s infectious because we can pass it on. #4: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Lupus and SLE are alternative names for systemic lupus erythematosus. This is a debilitating immune disorder which affects the entire body. Research in 2018 showed that EBV can switch on the genes that cause autoimmune diseases. Even when in a latent state! They’re not sitting there doing nothing, at all! #3. Multiple Sclerosis In January 2022, a team at the Harvard School of Public Health proved Epstein-Barr infections cause multiple sclerosis. In the records of 10 MILLION military personnel, close to 1,000 were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during service years. The risk of MS is low. But that risk climbs an incredible 32 times with EBV. An elevated risk of this scale isn't found in other virus species. #2: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Lists of EBV-associated diseases ALWAYS include Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Do you remember the Epstein-Barr virus attacks B-lymphocyte cells? Lymphomas are cancers of these types of cells. B cells regulate antibodies that fight foreign cells and toxins. Memory B cells help the body remember old foes. And remember, we know EBV can switch our genes on and off. Especially when we are genetically or environmentally predisposed to certain illnesses. #1: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma The wrong foods increase the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer. Or cancer of the nose and throat. In 2015, Italian hospitals looked at the eating habits of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. No-one had done this before. They realized diets rich in animal products, starch, and fats are strongly linked to nasopharyngeal cancer. Other studies show high vegetable and low meat diets LOWER nasopharyngeal cancer risk. Actually, this applies to most cancers. But for nasopharyngeal cancer, Epstein-Barr is nearly ALWAYS to blame.
