It still has some nasty side effect which aren't full understood yet. Some medical professionals suggest defining this infection in other ways.

All viral infections have nasty side effects but they aren't defining them differently.

The Epstein Barr virus causes schizophrenia and no one cares.

Exactly my point. Neurological effects almost never are mentioned. Since most physicians think it behaves like the common flu they look at it like the common flu.
