Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections frequently affect the liver and cause hepatitis. EBV is a well-known trigger of certain autoimmune diseases. There are few case reports showing the evidence of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) following EBV infection. However, the diagnosis of AIH is very challenging in the setting of an acute infection. Here, we demonstrate a case of AIH following EBV infection in a patient ultimately recovered after receiving treatment for AIH.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)感染常累及肝脏并引发肝炎。EBV是某些自身免疫性疾病的知名诱因。仅有少数病例报告显示EBV感染后有自身免疫性肝炎(AIH)的证据。然而,在急性感染情况下,AIH的诊断极具挑战性。在此,我们展示了1例EBV感染后发生AIH的病例,该患者在接受AIH治疗后最终康复。
