Bir çocuk olguda ebv enfeksiyonuna bağlı gelişen akut kolesistit

Ebstein-Barr virüs (EBV) Herpes-viridae ailesinin bir üyesidir. EBV enfeksiyonu seyrinde karaciğer enzimlerinde yükselme sıklıkla izlenmekle birlikte akut kolesistit nadir görülmektedir. Burada 11 yaşında EBV enfeksiyonuna bağlı gelişen akut kolestatik hepatit ve akut kolesistit olgusu sunulmuştur. Hasta semptomatik tedavi ile cerrahiye gerek kalmaksızın düzelmiştir. Hekimler EBVye bağlı gelişen enfeksiyoz mononükleoz seyri sırasında asemptomatik transaminazemi dışında, kolestatik hepatit ve kolesistit gelişebileceğini, klinik iyileşmeye paralel olarak bu komplikasyonların düzeleceğini akılda bulundurmalıdır.

Ebv associated acute cholecystitis in a child

Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of Herpes-viridae. Altough elevations of liver enzymes is commonly seen during the EBV infection, acute cholecystitis is rare complication. Herein, we report cholestatic hepatitis and acute cholecystitis associated with EBV infection in an 11-year-old boy. The patient recovered with symptomatic treatment without surgery. Physicians should keep in mind that cholestatic hepatitis and cholecystitis may develop during the course of EBV-induced infectious mononucleosis and these complications will recover in parallel with clinical improvement of primary disease.
