Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is mostly subclinical and resolves spontaneously without complications. Gastroenterology involvement usually manifests as asymptomatic liver enzymes elevation. We report a new case of acute pancreatitis complicating EBV infection and review the literature. EBV-associated acute pancreatitis is rare, usually develops in the setting of clinically clear EBV infection, occurs mostly in children and young adults, has mild-to-moderate severity, and has excellent prognosis with conservative management. It should be suspected when patients with an EBV infection picture develop unexplained abdominal pain.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒（EBV）感染大多为亚临床感染，可自发缓解且无并发症。胃肠系统受累通常表现为无症状性肝酶升高。我们报告一例EBV感染并发急性胰腺炎的新病例并复习相关文献。EBV相关的急性胰腺炎较为罕见，通常在临床明确的EBV感染背景下发生，多见于儿童和年轻人，病情多为轻至中度，保守治疗预后良好。当出现EBV感染表现的患者发生不明原因的腹痛时，应怀疑该病。
