Epstein Barr
Hi all - Has anyone heard of epstein barr virus? If so, what are your thoughts on it and PsA? I've gone down about a bagillion rabbit holes about the PsA disease and that is one thing I have read about.
Hi
, thanks for reaching out. While I'm not personally familiar with the way that Epstein Barr might be linked with PsA, I hope any of our community members can chime in and share with you and experiences or information they might have. That being said, I do know that one of the possible triggers for PsA is environmental factors, including viral infections. (Here's an article that touches on this a bit, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/psa-basics/cause-triggers.) I was also able to find this information about a possible link between EBV and autoimmune rheumatic diseases, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405844024130769. Do you have personal experience with this as well? Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
