Others don't agree at all and point out that many people who don't have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have the Epstein-Barr virus antibodies in their blood.

More frightening than that is the connection between EBV and such devastating diseases as Guillan-Barre syndrome and encephalitis. Although they're RARE, they are definitively linked. A friend of mine contracted G-B syndrome after mono, and still walks with a cane now almost 20 years later. I've known so many people with mono over the years who did NOT contract CFS (that I know of), that I kind of think of it as being the same as those rare patients who rupture their spleens or contract other diseases -- it's not a common side-effect, but certainly a *proven* one.
