Accepted Answer

Primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus commonly results in infectious mononucleosis, which is characterized by fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, and fatigue. Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and oral hairy leukoplakia are also associated with Epstein-Barr virus, but they are not considered primary infections. Chronic fatigue syndrome may be associated with Epstein-Barr virus, but its etiology is still unclear.
