Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a rare cause of hepatitis and myocarditis. Severe cases of EBV hepatitis have been documented in immunocompromised cases; however, it is even more uncommonly seen in the immunocompetent population. Our case highlights EBV hepatitis presenting as acute abdominal pain in a young male with no known medical conditions.
