The reality of EBV

Showing the reality of the Epstein-Barr virus

It is by showing the reality of EBV that we will be able to change practices in terms of virus detection and treatment.
This reality is diverse, which is why it is important to increase the number of testimonies. The aim is also to put an end to the common element of all EBV patients: the lack of diagnosis and diagnostic delay.
Whether you are a patient, a health professional or a researcher, your experience matters!
