10 Epstein Barr Virus Symptoms
Symptom #1: Fever
Fever is one of the most common symptoms of Epstein Barr Virus. When the EBV gets into the body, it starts to multiply and spreads to different parts of the body. As the numbers of the virus grow, the body’s defense gets to work; it deploys white blood cells to fight the virus wherever it is found. This turns the body into some sort of battle ground.
The increasing viral load and the resistance by white blood cells cause the body temperature to rise and cause a fever. Additionally, the body’s temperature control mechanism may cause a rise in body temperature as another way of destroying infection. Fever may be accompanied by other symptoms like chills and sweating.
