Summary:
- This article discusses a study that found persistent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in the blood of many individuals, even those without active EBV infection.
- The study suggests that the presence of this persistent EBV DNA may be linked to potential health effects, such as an increased risk of certain autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancer.
- The researchers believe that further understanding of the role of persistent EBV DNA could lead to new ways to monitor and potentially treat conditions associated with EBV infection.
