title: [Subclinical course of Epstein-Barr virus infection in infants with transient hepatitis].
abstract: Epstein-Barr-Virus-(EBV)-infections are well known to cause acute infectious mononucleosis in adolescents and young adults. However in early infancy and childhood these infections are usually mild and clinically inapparent. In the following we describe a case of a primary EBV-infection in infancy, which led to a transient hepatitis, identified by pathologically elevated liver enzymes.
