Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both immune suppression and hormonal changes can trigger reactivation of latency in herpesvirus infections. Co-infection with hepatitis D virus may cause liver damage but is not known to trigger reactivation of herpesviruses. There is no evidence to suggest that major hormonal changes alone can reactivate latent herpesvirus infections.
