Ebstein Barr virus (EBV) is a member
of Herpes-viridae. Altough elevations of liver enzymes and upper respiratory tract infection
findings is commonly seen during the EBV infection, acute facial paralysis is
rare complication. Here, we report acute facial paralysis associated with EBV
infection in an eight years old girl. With symptomatic treatment, the patient
recovered without cure with corticosteroids and antiviral therapy and no
complications developed. Physicians
should keep in mind that neurological complications, such as facial paralysis, other
than upper respiratory tract infections, may develop during infectious
mononucleosis due to EBV and that patients should be followed closely.

EBV ENFEKSİYONUNA BAĞLI GELİŞEN AKUT FASİYAL PARALİZİ OLGUSU

Öz

Ebstein Barr virüs (EBV)
Herpes-viridae ailesinin bir üyesidir. EBV enfeksiyonu seyrinde üst solunum
yolu enfeksiyonu bulguları ile birlikte asemptomatik karaciğer enzimlerinde
yükselme sıklıkla izlenmekle birlikte akut fasiyal paralizi oldukça nadir
görülmektedir. Burada sekiz yaşında EBV enfeksiyonuna bağlı akut fasiyal
paralizi olgusu sunulmuştur. Semptomatik tedavi ile birlikte hasta
kortikosteroid ve antiviral tedavi ile sekelsiz iyileşmiş ve herhangi bir
komplikasyon gelişmemiştir. Hekimler EBV’ye bağlı gelişen enfeksiyöz
mononükleoz seyri sırasında üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonları dışında fasiyal
paralizi gibi nörolojik komplikasyonların da gelişebileceğini ve hastaların
yakından takip edilmesi gerektiğini akılda bulundurmalıdır.
