8. Infections
There are numerous types of bacterial and viral infections that can affect us. The majority will cause only mild symptoms and will usually pass in time having done no permanent harm. Some types of infection can cause more permanent problems, however.
Some viruses and bacteria, such as the Epstein-Barr virus, can transform lymphocytes. The virus is known for causing infectious mononucleosis, which is also known as the kissing disease, and glandular fever. If you are experiencing unexpected symptoms after any illness appears to have passed then you should arrange to speak with a doctor as soon as you are able to.
