Different responses to EBV in MS and CFS could lead to diagnostic marker

Abstract Most humans carry a considerable number of persisting viral infections, frequently in a latent state. Chronic infections may intermittently reactivate especially under immune suppression and play an important role as trigger or cofactor for autoimmune diseases and cancer. Correlation … Continue reading
