Which of the follow statements on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is NOT correct?Group of answer choicesEBV virions are produced in the oral epithelium and spread in saliva.Most B lymphocytes in your blood are latently infected with EBV.EBV can induce B cell lymphomas after organ transplant because the patient is immunocompromised and therefore their immune system does not kill the latency III cells.Persistent EBV infection can lead to gastric carcinoma and multiple sclerosis.Expression of BZLF1 causes a switch from latent to lytic EBV infection in the same cell.

Which statement is NOT true of the Epstein-Barr virus? A) It is a member of the herpesvirus family. B) It is a double-stranded DNA virus. C) It is the causative agent of mononucleosis D) It is very similar to HIV.

Which of the follow statements on EBV is NOT correct?Group of answer choicesThe mechanism by which EBV virions enter B cells is similar to how HSV virions enter cells, in that the viral envelope fuses to the plasma membrane.In EBV latent infections, viral miRNAs and stable noncoding RNAs called EBERs are produced.LMP1 is in the plasma membrane of latency II and latency III cells, where it helps to protect the cell from apoptosis.EBNA1 binds oriP to initiate DNA replication from the oriP DS element.EBNA1 promotes cell survival by lowering the levels of p53 and PML proteins.

A 6-year-old girl is admitted to the hospital due to a week of fever.  The patient has a history of fulminant viral myocarditis for which she received a cardiac transplant 8 months ago.  Viral studies prior to transplantation were negative for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV).  She is taking maintenance immunosuppression medications.  Temperature is 38.1 C (100.6 F), blood pressure is 102/74 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, and respirations are 22/min.  Heart examination reveals normal S1 and S2 with no S3 or S4 and no murmurs.  Pulses are 2+ in all extremities.  The lungs are clear to auscultation.  There are several enlarged anterior cervical lymph nodes bilaterally.  Laboratory results are as follows:Complete blood count    Hemoglobin 10 g/dL    Platelets 180,000/mm3    Leukocytes 1,900/mm3Blood, plasma, and serum    Lactate dehydrogenase, serum 412 U/L    Serum EBV PCR 90,500 copies/mL    Serum CMV PCR negativeEchocardiogram shows normal heart structure and function.  A CT scan of the chest reveals scattered bilateral atelectasis and several highly enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.  Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's symptoms?
