Abstract:
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common viral pathogen in children.EBV infection can cause childhood tumors, immune-related diseases and respiratory-related diseases.The proportion of EBV infection in Chinese children is high and the age of primary infection is early.Its pathogenesis is closely related to B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and gene defects.Clinical EBV infection is not only associated with childhood tumors and immune-related diseases, but also causes respiratory-related diseases that deserve more attention.
