Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which are the only members of the gamma(γ) herpesviruses, are oncogenic viruses that significantly contribute to the development of various human cancers, such as Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, and primary effusion lymphoma. Oncogenesis triggered by γ-herpesviruses involves complex interactions between viral genetics, host cellular mechanisms, and immune evasion strategies. At the genetic level, crucial viral oncogenes participate in the disruption of cell signaling, leading to uncontrolled proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) usually causes mild, self-limiting, or asymptomatic infection in children, typically infectious mononucleosis. The severe course is more common in immunocompromised patients. Neurological complications of primary infection, reactivation of the latent infection, or immune-mediated are well-documented.

: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects more than 90 percent of the human population. In pediatric patients, the innate immune response against EBV primary infection plays a key role. Monocytes and macrophages can have distinct functions depending on the microenvironment surrounding them.

Viral infection plays a significant role in the development and progression of many cancers. Certain viruses, such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV), are well-known for their oncogenic potential. These viruses can dysregulate specific molecular and cellular processes through complex interactions with host cellular mechanisms.

Epidemiologic studies have linked EBV with certain cancers or autoimmune conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies suggest that molecular mimicry between EBV proteins, particularly EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1), and self-proteins is a plausible mechanism through which EBV infection may contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders.
