Abstract Background Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection is an extremely rare childhood disease. Since chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection can trigger the onset of Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative disease. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary according to the site of involvement; therefore, management may be challenging. Currently, there are no standardized guidelines for treating Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection effectively. Case presentation We report a case of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection in a 5-year-old Chinese boy with intestinal, vascular, and neurological involvement. At age of 2 years and 7 months old, he had hepatomegaly and been diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus infection. After treatment, he showed some clinical improvement. At age of 3 years and 3 months old, he presented with recurrent fever and diarrhea. Then he received methylprednisolone for 1 year and his symptoms ameliorated. At the age of 5 years, his symptoms recurred and had gastrointestinal hemorrhage and developed polyuria, frequent convulsions and hyponatremia. He was transferred to our hospital for further management. He was unconscious on admission and was diagnosised Epstein-Barr virus-lymphoproliferative disorder, based on the results in situ hybridization of EBV-encoded miRNA in sigmoid colon. Three-dimensional CT angiography demonstrated an aneurysm in the right internal carotid artery. Abdominal CT showed dilatation of vessels in part of the intestinal wall. He was also diagnosised Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis based on the elevated Epstein-Barr virus antibody titers and presence of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in the Cerebrospinal Fluid. A repeated duodenal artery embolization and symptomatic therapy could not control the hemorrhage after admission. He subsequently received treatment with ganciclovir, glucocorticoid, thalidomide, and propranolol. Hemorrhage was controlled in 5 days; his symptoms improved. The fever did not recur and the CSF pressure was also normalized. A follow-up CT at 3 months after admission showed regression of the aneurysm in the right internal carotid artery and the vascular lesion in the duodenum. Discussion and conclusions A new treatment protocol including thalidomide and propranolol resulted in a marked improvement in his clinical symptoms, and shows promise as a novel and effective therapeutic approach for Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection-associated lymphoproliferative disorder.

We report the clinical and histopathological features of hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder in five indigenous and Mestizo children. All the children resided at higher altitudes, experiencing maximal solar exposure. All cases presented with prurigo along with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Histopathologic examination showed an atypical, CD30 + lymphocytic infiltrate with angiocentricity in all, while three cases demonstrated panniculitis-like infiltrate.
