Epstein-Barr virus infection is a benign disease, which may occasionally be fatal, particularly in children. Epstein-Barr virus infection is rare in elderly subjects and appears to have a self-limited course. An unusual case of fulminant hepatitis due to primary Epstein-Barr virus infection in a 62-year-old male 18 days after a cardiosurgical operation and blood transfusions is described in the present paper. Post-mortem examination of the liver showed massive hepatic necrosis. The etiology was established by increase in IgM antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (titer 1:3.120) in serum and by cellular expression of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in liver tissue.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染是一种良性疾病，但偶尔可能致命，尤其是在儿童中。爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染在老年患者中罕见，且似乎病程自限。本文描述了一例62岁男性在心脏外科手术和输血18天后因原发性爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染导致暴发性肝炎的不寻常病例。肝脏尸检显示大量肝坏死。病因通过血清中抗爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒IgM抗体升高（滴度1:3120）以及肝组织中爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒DNA的细胞表达得以确定。
