To describe the clinical features of lacrimal gland inflammation associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
The clinical records, laboratory data, and radiographs of patients who had inflammation of one or both lacrimal glands that had begun less than 4 weeks previously were reviewed.
Sixteen patients with dacryoadenitis were encountered between 1980 and 1996, a cumulative frequency of approximately one case per 10,000 new ophthalmic outpatients. Six individuals had serologic or other evidence of recent Epstein-Barr virus infection and were distinguished by the presence of regional lymphadenopathy, no purulent discharge, and a duration of symptoms of 6 weeks.
Epstein-Barr virus is a probable cause of unilateral and bilateral dacryoadenitis in young adults.
描述与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染相关的泪腺炎的临床特征。
回顾了1980年至1996年间单侧或双侧泪腺炎发病时间少于4周的患者的临床记录、实验室数据和X光片。
1980年至1996年间共遇到16例泪腺炎患者,累积发病率约为每10000名眼科新门诊患者中有1例。6例患者有近期爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染的血清学或其他证据,其特点为有局部淋巴结病、无脓性分泌物且症状持续6周。
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒可能是年轻成年人单侧和双侧泪腺炎的病因。
