EBV would cause
asymptomatic infection
infectious mononucleosis
the former being mild and the latter associated with lymphadenopathy
hepatosplenomegaly
and abnormal lymphocytes
both are self limiting
chronicity is due to latent infection.
if associated with malaria ---risk of burkitt lymphoma
or in China --- nasopharyngeal carcinoma
