We recently reported virological studies in a patient with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in which T-lymphocytes were infected, and coronary aneurysms were detected by echocardiography. We report here the clinical features of this patient and suggest that EBV may cause coronary aneurysms and that an echocardiographic study should be performed in patients with chronic active EBV infection.
