Pediatric lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis in an HIV-negative child with pulmonary Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP) in children has been most commonly associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated LIP without HIV infection has been reported only in adults. EBV associated LIP has been reported in children, but only with concurrent HIV infection. We report a case of EBV associated, HIV negative LIP in a child.
