Acute Epstein Barr Virus is a risk factor for severe malaria in infants under 24 months

2025-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Primary Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection occurs during late adolescence and is characterized by the symptomatic manifestation of infectious mononucleosis (IM). Primary EBV infection in malaria-endemic areas often occurs in young children by the age of 2 and is generally asymptomatic. Acute EBV infection in children of this age results in humoral immune suppression to unrelated antigenic chall...
