Persistent fatigue after EBV infection
This study looks at why fatigue doesn't go away after an EBV infection. It tests people who are early in their illness to understand the mechanisms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a positive lab test for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).

This trial studies whether a yoga program (compared with health education) can reduce persistent tiredness after COVID-19. It may help if your fatigue has lasted at least 12 weeks and you think it started with COVID.
This trial studies whether two products (2LEBV® and 2LXFS®) can improve ongoing fatigue in people who have evidence of an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. It aims to see if treatment helps reduce multiple related symptoms over follow-up.
This study looks at how the immune system’s antibodies behave after a first-time EBV infection, including whether they mistakenly react with the body’s own tissues. You might be offered a chance to help doctors understand why some people get longer or more intense symptoms from infectious mononucleosis.
This study tracks health outcomes over time in people who have a high level of the EBV virus in their blood. It may help researchers understand what happens in chronic (long-lasting) EBV infection and which outcomes to watch for.
This study looks at people with chronic fatigue who saw a doctor but no physical cause was found. It aims to understand their experiences better.
