Hepatic manifestations of Epstein-Barr viral infection.
UNLABELLED Little information exists in the international scientific or medical literature about the hepatic manifestations and complications of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The aim of this study was to describe a series of patients with hepatic manifestations of EBV infection. Our sample population was a series of patients whose hepatic dysfunction was correlated with a documented EBV infection. ...
متن کاملReplication of Epstein-Barr viral DNA.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a paradigm for human tumor viruses: it is the first virus recognized to cause cancer in people; it causes both lymphomas and carcinomas; yet these tumors arise infrequently given that most people in the world are infected with the virus. EBV is maintained extrachromosomally in infected normal and tumor cells. Eighty-four percent of these viral plasmids replicate each...
متن کاملFatal hepatitis during Epstein-Barr virus reactivation.
Fulminant hepatitis by Epstein-Barr virus is a rare event which is predominantly due to primary infection. We report a rare case of fatal hepatic failure due to Epstein-Barr virus reactivation in a 19-year-old boy who was taking oral steroids. Transaminase peak and the fulminant course of the disease began soon after steroid interruption. Epstein-Barr virus reactivation was diagnosed on the bas...
متن کاملThe Epstein-Barr virus LF2 protein inhibits viral replication.
The switch from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection to lytic replication is governed by two transcriptional regulators, Zta and Rta. We previously reported that the EBV protein encoded by the LF2 gene binds to Rta and can inhibit Rta activity in reporter gene assays. We now report that LF2 associates with Rta in the context of EBV-infected cells induced for lytic replication. LF2 inhibiti...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus-Encoded RNAs: Key Molecules in Viral Pathogenesis
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is known as an oncogenic herpesvirus that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies. EBV-encoded RNAs (EBERs) are non-coding RNAs expressed abundantly in latently EBV-infected cells. Herein, I summarize the current understanding of the functions of EBERs, including the interactions with cellular factors through which EBERs contribute to EBV-med...
