Epstein - Barr virus Infection Documented by Lymphocyte Study after Nasal Scraping: Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
The authors describe a case of Epstein Barr virus infection (EBV) in a five-year-old girl. In the field of otorhinolaryngology diagnostics, and in the strong suspicion of a viral disease, the study of the nasal mucosa has highlighted the presence of atipical lymphocyte cells. This observation led the authors to anti-EBV antibody research and a blood count. These investigations confirmed the diagnostic suspicion. In conclusion, the optical microscope study of the nasal mucosa, can be considered a valid tool not only for the early diagnosis of viral diseases in general, but also a means to monitor over time the course of the disease and the possible consequences.
