Uncommon illness from common infections.
Individual common infectious agents such as EBV, CMV and HBV have well characterized relationships to a variety of acute and chronic disease states; the host and/or environment variables underlying this clinical heterogeneity are not known. Given the high frequency of these viral infections in the general population, there should be a cautious interpretation of antiviral serological data.
