IgM Antibodies Specific for Epstein-Barr Virus in Infectious Mononucleosis without Heterophil Antibodies

Lymphoma infectious mononucleosis by Epstein-Barr virus: A case report

Background: Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis in more than 90% of children. Rarely, mononucleosis may lead to malignancy. The aim the current study was to introduce a child with mononucleosis and persistent adenopathy. Case report: A 4-year-old male patient presented with complaints of fever, shortness of breath and sore throat. He was treated with antibiotics and prednis...

Epstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis.

Infectious mononucleosis should be suspected in patients 10 to 30 years of age who present with sore throat and significant fatigue, palatal petechiae, posterior cervical or auricular adenopathy, marked adenopathy, or inguinal adenopathy. An atypical lymphocytosis of at least 20 percent or atypical lymphocytosis of at least 10 percent plus lymphocytosis of at least 50 percent strongly supports ...

Epstein-Barr virus: beyond infectious mononucleosis

Received for publication: 8-12-10 Accepted for publication: 8-12-10 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an ubiquitous human herpes virus that has been identified as the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limited lymphoproliferative disease and, in general, is self-limiting in the immunocompetent host. The disease has a benign course. EBV has also been identified or associated with epit...

Epstein-Barr virus and infectious mononucleosis.

Epstein-Barr virus in cerebrospinal fluid during infectious mononucleosis encephalitis.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was recovered from cerebrospinal cells (but not from cell-free fluid) of a patient with meningoencephalitis complicating infectious mononucleosis. This finding suggests that virus-altered B lymphocytes can invade the central nervous system and may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of neurologic sequelae of EBV infections. Several mechanisms by which these cells can...
