Abstract

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a common herpes virus (human herpesvirus type 4) that usually manifests as infectious mononucleosis or persists asymptomatically for life. EBV can also be associated with different types of malignancy such as T cell lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and oropharyngeal squamous cell and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Pneumonia is a very rare complication of EBV infection, but it has been reported to occur even in the absence of mononucleosis. This article highlights the case of 35-year-old female who developed acute pancreatitis and acute respiratory failure related to EBV infection. The patient progressively recovered on antiviral therapy and steroids.
