Cardiovascular complications in chronic active Epstein–Barr virus disease: a case report and literature review
We reported the case of a pediatric patient with EBV infection who developed rare and fatal cardiovascular complications (CAAs and thrombosis, Valsalva sinus aneurysm, and aortic lesions) seven years after the onset of the infection. Clinicians should be aware of these complications during the long-term follow-up of patients with EBV infection, especially in patients with CAEBV and/or EBV-HLH.
