Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection has a diverse spectrum of clinical presentations. We encountered a previously healthy young female adult with positive EBV Viral Capsid (VCA)-IgM serology and heterophile antibodies who presented with abdominal pain, mesenteric adenitis, and elevated liver enzymes without the more common manifestations of EBV infection. A review of the clinical and laboratory ...

Hypothyroidism’s most common cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Because Epstein-Barr virus a pathogen that causes autoimmune diseases to be prevalent worldwide and because it stays in the body for duration of life, which explains why have chronic course are frequently accompanied by symptomatic exacerbations, aim this research determine relationship between (EBV) disease patients with thyro...

The virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (VAHS) is a disorder characterized by a benign, generalized histiocytic proliferation, with marked hemophagocytosis associated with systemic viral infections. We have studied the virological and immunopathological events occurring in two children experiencing Epstein-Barr VAHS. Neither of the patients had an underlying immunodeficiency and both recov...

UNLABELLED We report the diversity of latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) gene founder sequences and the level of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome variability over time and across anatomic compartments by using virus genomes amplified directly from oropharyngeal wash specimens and peripheral blood B cells during acute infection and convalescence. The intrahost nucleotide variability of the founder ...

Purpose We hereby describe a case of persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and retinitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that was successfully treated with infusion CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) despite previous treatment Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -specific CTL, which occurred 5 months earlier. Observations Following several anti- viral medication tri...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a herpes virus, is now accepted as a bona fide human tumor virus and has been found to be a risk factor for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Epidemiological studies and molecular virology have been combined to establish EBV’s causal roles in several lymphomas and carcinomas. The success of these combined approaches illustrates what insights will be needed to...

Ocular manifestations have been attributed to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), largely on the basis of seroepidemiologic data. Two patients who developed conjunctival disease as the presenting feature of EBV infection are reported, each confirmed by in situ hybridization of EBV genome in affected tissue biopsy specimens. Recognition of EBV-induced ocular disease as an initial presentation of clini...

Acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with central and peripheral neurological complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and radiculopathy in 0.5-7.5% of patients. The peripheral nervous system manifestations of acute EBV infection include mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, autonomic neuropathy, and polyradiculopathy. Brachial plexopathy in children and immu...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) affects 9 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. Though generally a benign infection, it can present with plethora symptoms and complications. We the case 21-year-old previously healthy male suffering from EBV who presented an 8-day history odynophagia, pharyngitis, cough, abdominal pain fatigue, he also had fever which reached maximum 38.5°C. The patient’s clin...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the human herpes family and was discovered in cultured cells of Burkitt lymphoma as the first human tumor virus. It has been found to be associated with numbers of tumors, including Hodgkin lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and gastric carcinoma and so on. Besides tumors, EBV also can cause infectious diseases. Infectious mononucleosis, chronic active E...
