How the virus is transmitted
Epstein-Barr
Disease kisses» — Not random infection name. Fake
in the human body, DNA
Epstein-Barr Virus accumulates in lymphoid cells of the pharynx and
lymphatic nodes, and the maximum concentration of the pathogen is detected
It is in the saliva of the patient in the first 18 months from the beginning of the disease. IN
Further, during carriers, the virus is allocated to the environment only
periodically.
In most cases, the first meeting with Epstein-Barr virus passes
unnoticed, in 50% of children
under the age of 5 years the disease is transferred like a light cold. The remaining 40%
Get virus
Epstein Barr along with the first sweet kiss, first sex
aged 14-16 years. In addition, the Epstein Barr virus can be transmitted through
toys, dishes, with handshake,
When overflowing blood and, of course, with oral sex. The virus remains
in the body for life and with a sharp weakening of immunity can become
cause big health problems.
What is dangerous Epstein-Barr virus?
Virus
Epstein-Barr attracted attention back in 1964, when English
Virologist Professor Michael Anthony Epstein Together with his postgraduate
M. Barr set his relationship with a lymphoma man. Today it
The causative agent attributes one of the main roles in the formation of tumors.
The response of the body to the first meeting with Epstein-Barr virus depends entirely on
Forces of immune protection. Most often
The disease proceeds asymptomatic or with light signs of colds, but in
Some cases infection develops violently.
The most frequent manifestation of infection caused by the Epstein Barr virus,
is an Infectious mononucleosis. Across
4-15 days after infection in the patient, the temperature suddenly rises (up to 39.50C), severe weakness appears, heaviness in the head, pain and throat, superficial
cough, increase and become sensitive submandibular, front and
Rear cervical lymph nodes.
Splitting in the mucous membrane of the pharynx and lymphatic nodes,
Epstein-Barr virus
enters the blood and distributed throughout the body, hitting lymphoid and
Reticular tissues of other organs. Half patients develop hepatitis and
Jaundice, some amazed spleen, up to the occurrence of its gaps,
In particularly severe cases, the target of the virus becomes a nervous system and heart.
Fortunately, mononucleosis occurs in a light form and
passes independently within 1-2 months. Only 1-2% of the patients he acquires
Chronic current, manifesting basically weakness and increased fatigue.
Depression? Blame virus!
Chronic fatigue syndrome. Earlier to exist
No one has paid attention to this illness, written off malaise and bad mood
on unelicness and stress. However, it is proved that the decline
workability, depression in healthy people in the absence of signs of others
Diseases may be caused by the presence of Epstein-Barr Virus DNA.
If a person is in an depressed state, suffering from the lack of appetite,
Wholerey, does not feel having rested after sleep, complains of interruptions in the work
Hearts, muscle or articular pains, periodically sick pharyngitis and it
condition will continue for more than six months — This is a reason to make an analysis of Epstein-Barr virus.
Cancer and Epstein-Barr virus
In the human body, Epstein-Barr virus breeds in in lymphocytes, but
At the same time, it does not cause the death of white blood cells, but on the contrary, contributes
Their irreparable division. In this vakhanlia, the body loses control over the process
and instead of healthy cells in blood changed changed cancer
«the killers». Lymphogranulomatosis or Hodgkin's disease — Another bitter
Consequence of viral infection.
Berkitt lymphoma, nasopharynk cancer, sclerosis,
Hepatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Kikuchi disease, hairy leukoplakia,
Herpety angina, oral and genital herpes — These are the big problems,
Behind which is a tiny virus
Epstein-Barr. Unfortunately, today medicine does not know the medicine,
able to save humanity from this villain. Treatment of all these diseases
symptomatic, but at the same time, you need to pay tribute, very effective.
The main thing in each case — This is an early PCR diagnosis of the virus
Epstein Barr, implying detection of antibodies to antigens
pathogen. Today it is available to everyone who cares about their health and
Health of loved ones.
