• Cervical Lymphadenopathy

  This 15-year old patient presented with B symptoms and was found to have bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and an anterior mediastinal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  One year post-transplant, he presented with cervical lymphadenopathy concerning for recurrence of ALCL. PET/CT showing an FDG-avid lymph node prompted a biopsy. [bbmt.org]

  Patients most often present with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy, which may be tender, and of several months duration. [doi.org]

  Thus the “classic” patient with uncomplicated IM may be summarized with the following presentation; fever, pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenopathy, lymphocytosis, palatal petechiae and hepatosplenomegaly and with elevated ALAT. [bmcfampract.biomedcentral.com]

  Infectious mononucleosis is the prototype EBV infection and is characterized by fever, sore throat, cervical and generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and somatic complaints of fatigue and malaise. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

  However, those who catch it when they are young adults (or older) suffer from sore throats, swollen lymph glands, and extreme malaise. In addition, the spleen can become enlarged – sports and strenuous activities must be avoided to prevent rupture. [giantmicrobes.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  Her dry cough persisted and she developed abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rectal Pain

  She had persistent rectal pain and bleeding for over a year following hemorroidectomy. A large ulcer in the distal rectum with excoriation and granular margins was noted on examination, and an initial biopsy from the lesion was inconclusive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  We report an EBV + PTCL in a 9-year-old child with initial symptom of subcutaneous masses without lymph node involvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Microscopic Hematuria

  RESULTS: Legionnaire's disease was considered because she had extra-pulmonary findings characteristic of Legionnaire's disease, e.g., relative bradycardia, abdominal pain, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, elevated ferritin levels, microscopic hematuria [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Five of the patients without workup reacted after reuse of the suspected drug for infection treatment. CONCLUSION: In this study, the incidence of drug hyper-sensitivity was much lower than previously reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a plausible candidate for playing a role in the pathophysiology of these diseases. Both SLE and RA are characterized by high titers of anti-EBV antibodies and impaired T-cell responses to EBV antigens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of EBV infection begin with saliva transmission and the EBV virus targeting the tonsils which is a lymphoid tissue made up of T cells and B cells. In the tonsil the EBV target B cells and tonsillar epithelial cells. [youtube.com]

Next the big challenge is to develop a vaccine that will prevent infection by the virus. We believe that a successful EBV vaccine could prevent up to 200,000 new cases of cancers per year.” [web.archive.org]

RESULTS: The vaccine had demonstrable efficacy (mean efficacy rate, 78.0% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.0%-96.0%]) in preventing the development of infectious mononucleosis induced by EBV infection, but it had no efficacy in preventing asymptomatic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
