Anyone diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus infection later in life?

56 yrs old diagnosed with a current (new) EBV

I was recently hospitalized with sepsis and pneumonia, and during my hospitalization I was tested for EBV. My results stated, “Suggestive of a current Epstein-Barr virus infection.”
Has anyone else here been diagnosed with EBV later in life rather than as a teenager or young adult? I’d be interested in hearing about your experience.

Dimples, what treatment did your doctor suggest? How is recovery from sepsis going?
