From an article I read Epstein Barr virus mimics a lot of autoimmune diseases, so you can be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and it could be wrong. It could be Epstein Barr reactivating again. Also, EBV can live in your system forever and reactivate under certain situations, so my question is? Should anyone having symptoms of certain diseases should they get the EBV test done? If so, does your primary doctor do the test and send it off to the lab since it's a blood test?
