Atypical manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus: red alert for primary immunodeficiencies
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2016, Vol 92, Issue 5
Abstract
Dear Editor, The Jornal de Pediatria has published an elegant review paper entitled “Atypical manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus in children: a diagnostic challenge”.1 The authors performed a literature review including the last 30 years of publications on atypical manifestations associated with an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. However, I would like to complement their review by providing a particularly important point of view related to atypical EBV infections.
