title: [Atherosclerosis and chronic persistent virus infection].
abstract: Clinical, epidemiological and serological data as well as literature reviews were used to formulate and substantiate a concept on the presence of cause-sequel (etiological) relation between chronic persistent (slow) infection caused by the Epstein-Barr herpes virus (chronic infectious mononucleosis) and atherosclerosis. Detailed findings of the etiologic agent of atherosclerosis makes it possible to plan principally new ways of its diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis.
