The disease develops as a complication or progression of either Epstein–Barr virus-positive infectious mononucleosis (EPV+ IM) or chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection (CAEBV)., [1] that is, as a worsening of the signs/symptoms some three weeks after the onset of an EBV+ IM-like disease or an any time during the course of CAEBV.
Chronic active EBV infection or in its expanded form, chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection is a very rare and often fatal complication of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection that most often occurs in children or adolescents of Asian or South American lineage, although cases in Hispanics, Europeans and Africans have been reported.

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Medical symptoms and signs templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Medical symptoms and signs templates]]</noinclude>
This photomicrograph depicts leukemia cells that contain Epstein–Barr virus using a FA staining technique. Epstein–Barr virus, EBV, is a member of the Herpesvirus family, and is one of the most common human viruses. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Infectious disease symptoms and signs | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Infectious disease symptoms and signs | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Infectious mononucleosis (IM, mono), also known as glandular fever, is an infection usually caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). [2] [3] Most people are infected by the virus as children, when the disease produces few or no symptoms. [2] In young adults, the disease often results in fever, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, and ...
Reactivation of latent viruses, in particular EBV and human herpesvirus 6, has also been hypothesised to drive symptoms. EBV is present in about 90% of people, usually in a latent state. [41] [42]: 13 The levels of antibodies to EBV are commonly higher in people with ME/CFS, indicating possible viral reactivation. [43]
