Lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus

Lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus

Lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) is a virus that swiftly multiplies without potentially harming the host. LDV does slightly harm the immune system, causing it to be less efficient. Tests on mice show that LDV is more commonly found in the liver, spleen, lymph-nodes, and the skin. LDV usually lasts about 3 days after multiplying, from there small amounts can be found in the lymph nodes, liver, and the spleen for around 90 days.
