چکیده

The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), a member of the Herpesvirus family, occurs commonly and infects more than 90% people worldwide. Most systemic EBV infections throughout childhood adulthood are typically asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic. Even though ocular involvements in infrequently reported, an increasing number manifestations have been previously reported . Ocular manifestation caused by infection involved all segments eye, including oculoglandular syndrome, dry eye dacryoadenitis, conjunctivitis, episcleritis, keratitis, uveitis, choroiditis, retinitis, retinal vasculitis, papillitis. Previous reports found neurologic complications such as papilledema, optic neuritis, ophthalmoplegia, impaired accommodation, facial nerve palsy. Any atypical inflammatory process should be considered differential diagnosis. varied not emphasized. And role fully described.

Molecular evidence of ocular Epstein-Barr virus infection.

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...

Epstein-Barr virus infection mechanisms

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection occurs by distinct mechanisms across different cell types. EBV infection of B cells in vitro minimally requires 5 viral glycoproteins and 2 cellular proteins. By contrast, infection of epithelial cells requires a minimum of 3 viral glycoproteins, which are capable of interacting with one or more of 3 different cellular proteins. The full complement of proteins...
