Epstein-Barr is a virus in the herpes family (number 4) that is best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis (also called mono and glandular fever). It was first described in 1968 by Epstein and Barr. Around nine out of 10 adults carry the virus, making it one of the commonest human viral infections around. The virus "hides" from our immune systems until they weaken and then they attack. Many times this results in cancer of the lymph system. It has been commonly seen in HIV patients and organ transplant patients because their immune systems are not working well.

Does a persistent viral infection have an acute initial infection phase?
Yes, a persistent viral infection typically begins with an acute initial infection phase. During this phase, the virus replicates rapidly, leading to a strong immune response and symptoms. After this acute phase, the virus can enter a chronic or latent state, allowing it to persist in the host for extended periods, often with minimal or no symptoms.
