background and aims: infectious mononucleosis (im)is the clinical manifestation of primary infection with epstein-barr virus (ebv). humans are the only known reservoir of ebv. regarding the problems in diagnosis of the disease, the purpose of this study was to assess enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) as a diagnostic tool for this disease. mater...

Introduction Epstein-Barr  virus  (EBV)  infection  can  present  with  a  variety  of  manifestation. Case Report  Here  we  present  a  case  of  a  7  year- old  immunocompetent  girl  who  came  with  acute  abdominal  pain ,  had  echocardiographic  evidence  of  myocardial  dysfunction  and  finally  was  diagnosed  as  a  case  of  serologically  proven  acute  EBV  infection. Conclusion...

conclusions according to the presented case and subsequent literature review on fatal ebv hepatitis, clinicians should consider ebv infection in the differential diagnosis when hepatitis occurs in critically ill patients during the anti-tb therapy. although hepatitis caused by ebv is mostly self-limited, some might be fetal. introduction although hepatitis is frequently observed during antitube...

background: oral lichen planus (olp) is a chronic immunologic disease. the etiology of olp is unknown, viral antigens (for example epstein-bar virus) have been proposed as etiologic agents. olp may get transformation to malignancy so re search on the presence of ebv in olp lesions seems to be necessary. the aim of this study was to ascertain if ebv acted as etiologic factor in pathogenesis of o...
