    Author: Rhem MN, Wilhelmus KR, Jones DB.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 2000 Mar; 129(3):372-5. PubMed ID: 10704555.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features of lacrimal gland inflammation associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. METHODS: The clinical records, laboratory data, and radiographs of patients who had inflammation of one or both lacrimal glands that had begun less than 4 weeks previously were reviewed. RESULTS: Sixteen patients with dacryoadenitis were encountered between 1980 and 1996, a cumulative frequency of approximately one case per 10,000 new ophthalmic outpatients. Six individuals had serologic or other evidence of recent Epstein-Barr virus infection and were distinguished by the presence of regional lymphadenopathy, no purulent discharge, and a duration of symptoms of 6 weeks. CONCLUSION: Epstein-Barr virus is a probable cause of unilateral and bilateral dacryoadenitis in young adults.
