    Author: Leganés Villanueva C, Goruppi I, Brun Lozano N, Bianchi F, Quinteiro González M, Boronat Guerrero S.
    Journal: Pediatr Rep; 2021 Feb 06; 13(1):86-90. PubMed ID: 33562159.
    Abstract:
    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is estimated to infect more than 98% of adults worldwide and is one of the most common human viruses. Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) of the gallbladder is an atypical complication of infectious mononucleosis caused by EBV. Conservative management has been described in the context of AAC caused by EBV. A surgical approach must be considered in the case of acute complications such as perforation or gallbladder gangrene. We present the case of a 10-year-old female patient with AAC due to infectious mononucleosis syndrome caused by primary EBV infection.
