A study published on October 25, 2013 in the Journal of Oral Microbiology said that when immune B-cells respond to other infections the latent Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) can reactivate. The Epstein Barr Virus establishes a latent infection in its host that lasts for life. When the immune system weakens, the virus goes on the attack, and causes harmful symptoms. Many types of infections, including viral and bacterial infections, weaken the immune system. Those infections help the lurking EBV to reactivate. Environmental factors can also reactivate EBV. Some of these environmental factors include “emotional stress, fever, UV exposure, hormonal changes and dental surgery.
