The most common cause of acute cholecystitis (ACC) is cholelithiasis. Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is well documented in the literature related with critical illness, but viral causes such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have also been reported. We present a rare manifestation of EBV infection, reporting a case of a 15-year-old female suffering from acute acalulous cholecystitis, and we review the relevant literature. Clinicians should be aware of this rare complication of EBV infection and properly exclude it in young patients with cholecystitis.
急性胆囊炎(ACC)最常见的病因是胆结石。急性非结石性胆囊炎(AAC)在与危重病相关的文献中有充分记载,但诸如巨细胞病毒(CMV)和爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)等病毒病因也有报道。我们呈现了一例EBV感染的罕见表现,报告了一名15岁患急性非结石性胆囊炎的女性病例,并对相关文献进行综述。临床医生应意识到EBV感染的这种罕见并发症,并在患有胆囊炎的年轻患者中适当排除该病因。
