Epstein-Barr Virus Infection with Acute Pancreatitis Associated with Cholestatic Hepatitis

Abstract: Infection-induced acute hepatitis complicated with acute pancreatitis is associated with hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus or hepatitis E virus. Although rare, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection should be considered also in the differential diagnosis if the patient has acute hepatitis combined with pancreatitis. We report a case of EBV infection with cholestatic hepatitis and pancreatitis with review of literature. An 11-year-old female was admitted due to 1-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting withou… Show more

“…18,19 From authors review of the literature, the majority of patients presenting with acute symptomatic EBV hepatitis, without infectious mononucleosis syndrome, have normal biliary tree imaging without dilation. 5,20,21 In one case report, a patient had a mildly dilated common bile duct at 9 mm and underwent ERCP to exclude biliary obstruction, which revealed no abnormality. 22 Differentiation of EBV infection from intrabdominal infection is important to avoid side-effects associated with misplaced antibiotic treatment.…”

“…Elevations in liver transaminases are not uncommon with EBV infection, but are usually transient and rarely progress to fulminant hepatitis. 1,2 However, significant cholestasis and jaundice are rare complications with an incidence of less than 5%. 3,4,5…”

“…L'EBV ayant un tropisme hépatique, l'atteinte hépatique n'est pas rare, mais elle est rarement clinique. Elle peut entraîner parfois de la fièvre, des adénopathies et une rhinopharyngite [1,2]. L'atteinte hépatique dans la primo-infection à EBV se traduit par une élévation des transaminases, une cholestase qui est souvent anictérique et exceptionnellement une cholécystite alithiasique [3].…”

“…L'évolution de la cholestase induite par une primo-infection au EBV se fait vers la guérison spontanée en 3 à 4 semaines dans les cas qui ont été rapportés dans la littérature, comme dans notre observation. Elle ne nécessite aucun traitement spécifique [1][2][3]. Il faut penser devant un ictère cholestatique chez l'enfant à une primoinfection à EBV.…”
