A member asked:
Positive for ebv is it possible the virus could enter nerve cells and t cells and nk killer cells could mistakenly attacks those nerve cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIghly unlikely: If you meant your ebv antibody titer is high, that is a very nonspecific finding unless the antibody is igm. Most healthy people have positive ebv titers and thus the probability is highly unlikely.
