Abstract:
Transient protein-losing enteropathy associated with acute Epstein-Barr virus infection in an immunocompetent 5-year-old girl is described. The child had a complete resolution of the disease without specific treatment. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of Epstein-Barr virus infection associated protein-losing enteropathy in a previously healthy patient. Acute infection caused by Epstein-Barr virus infection should be considered in patients with symptomatic protein loss of gastrointestinal origin.
