Infection with which virus causes a person to be temporarily immune to infection by Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2?a. Poliovirus 1b. Coxackie B virusc. Rhinovirusd. Epstein-Barr virus
c. Rhinovirus
The correct answer is d. Epstein-Barr virus.
Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, can cause a temporary immune response in the body that offers protection against the Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2. However, it is important to note that this immunity is not long-lasting and does not provide permanent protection against these viruses.
EBV is a common virus that is transmitted through saliva and can cause infectious mononucleosis (also known as “mono” or the “kissing disease”). While most people will be infected with EBV at some point in their lifetime, many will not experience any symptoms or only mild symptoms. However, in some cases, EBV can cause more serious complications, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
