Subsequently, she developed malaise, right abdominal pain, and a fever of 38°C and visited our hospital. A blood test revealed a mild inflammatory response and elevated liver enzymes, and she was admitted to the hospital for detailed examination and acute liver injury treatment. Various viral tests and autoantibody measurements revealed elevated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immunoglobulin M and negative EB nuclear antigen antibodies. Therefore, she was diagnosed with primary infectious mononucleosis-associated EB viral hepatitis. Abdominal computed tomography upon admission revealed swollen lymph nodes around the stomach;thus, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed. A histopathological examination revealed severe lymphocytic infiltration, and EB encoding region in situ hybridization demonstrated that 10-20% of the lymphocytes were EBV-infected. Drip and rest treatment improved the patient's liver enzymes, and her symptoms resolved. Repeat EGD after two months revealed improved gastric erosions. Here, we report a case of EBV-associated gastritis that was discovered due to perigastric lymphadenopathy accompanied by infectious mononucleosis. This report includes a review of the literature because a few studies reported EBV-associated gastritis.</p>","PeriodicalId":35808,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Gastroenterology","volume":"121 2","pages":"127-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139724280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
