Comprehensive cancer screening including regular imaging, laboratory markers, and periodic examinations to detect EBV-associated malignancies at early stages.
Additional treatment options
Antimicrobial prophylaxis
Preventive antibiotic and antiviral medications to reduce frequency of opportunistic infections, particularly during periods of increased EBV susceptibility.
medicationMagnesium supplementation
Oral magnesium supplementation to address the underlying magnesium defect, potentially improving immune function and reducing associated symptoms.
complementaryImmunonutrition support
Nutritional optimization with emphasis on immune-supportive nutrients, adequate protein intake, and avoidance of foodborne pathogens through proper food handling.
