A member asked:
Can you have ebv or cmv more than once? that may cause you to have low fever and fatigue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: There are 2 strains of the ebv and you could theoretically be infected separately by both.Cmv is thought to confer lifetime immunity with any infection so unless you have a problem with your immune system, you would have that once. There are also other viruses that cause mono-like syndromes that would masquerade as an ebv infection.
