Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is highly prevalent globally.
  • Primary EBV infection often presents as infectious mononucleosis (IM), with mild, self-limiting liver enzyme elevations.
  • Cholestatic hepatitis is a rare hepatic manifestation of EBV infection.

Observation:

  • EBV reactivation is uncommon, particularly in immunocompetent individuals.
  • Isolated cholestatic hepatitis due to EBV reactivation has been reported almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients.
  • This report details a unique case of EBV reactivation causing cholestatic hepatitis in an immunocompetent female.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates that EBV reactivation can manifest as cholestatic hepatitis even in healthy, immunocompetent individuals.
  • This challenges the established understanding of EBV reactivation patterns and associated liver pathology.
  • The review covers epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of EBV-induced cholestatic hepatitis.

Implications:

  • This case broadens the clinical spectrum of EBV reactivation.
  • It suggests a need for considering EBV in the differential diagnosis of cholestatic hepatitis in immunocompetent patients.
  • Further research may elucidate mechanisms and refine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for EBV-related liver disease.
