Patient's question:
My daughter is three years old this year. She has had a fever recently and it has lasted for half a month. The diagnosis result is EB virus infection. She is currently hospitalized for treatment, but she still occasionally has a fever, especially with frequent temper tantrums and crying. I don't know what to do either.What kind of help I need: Please ask how to treat EB virus infection.
Doctor's answer:
EB virus is a special virus that primarily affects lymphocytes. Mononucleosis is an acute lymphoid proliferative disease associated with EB virus infection. It is most common in adolescents who develop the disease after their first exposure to EBV. The clinical manifestations are diverse, but there are three typical symptoms: fever, pharyngitis, and cervical lymphadenopathy. As the disease progresses, the virus can spread to other lymph nodes. Enlargement of the liver and spleen, abnormal liver function, a continuous increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and the reappearance of atypical lymphocytes.
