You may have heard that Jonas Folger has returned to Munich for medical tests, and the word is he may have contracted Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) during the summer break.<\/p>\n

Nasty bastard of a thing, EBV. It\u2019s also known as Human Herpes Virus 4, and is the most common cause of glandular fever. Worryingly, EBV is also associated with Hodgkin\u2019s Lymphoma, Burkitt\u2019s Lymphoma, gastric cancer, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.<\/p>\n

It seems that Jonas returned from his summer holidays complaining of fatigue. And the fatigue just wouldn\u2019t go away. If you get EBV as a kid, there are no symptoms. But if you get it as an adult, the symptoms are fatigue, fever, a sore and inflamed throat, swollen lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen and a swollen liver. All of which probably accounts for Jonas\u2019s rather rapid fall from form in the second half of the season. His team actually commented on how his physical condition was getting worse and worse.<\/p>\n

He has been sent directly to Munich hospital for tests, and his team and his fans are all hopeful he\u2019s just got himself a dose of glandular fever from partying \u2013 infection only occurs through swapping spit and genital secretions \u2013 because if it\u2019s not that, it is indeed a troublesome diagnosis. Some 200,000 cancer diagnoses each year are directly attributable to EBV.<\/p>\n
