To monitor multiple Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections during the early and convalescent stages of infectious mononucleosis (IM), a cloning and sequencing study of the LMP1 gene was conducted in saliva and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 23 patients with IM at day 0 (D0) and day 180 (D180) after the onset of the disease. Multiple EBV strains were detected in 9 (39%) of the patients during follow-up, with 7 of 9 cases detected as early as D0. Six of the nine patients harbored the same dominant strain in saliva and PBMCs during follow-up, with a trend toward a restriction of the number of EBV strains in saliva but not in PBMCs at D180. Furthermore, transmission of a minor strain was observed between partners in a heterosexual couple. There was no correlation between multiple infections and EBV DNA load in either compartment.
