[Acute abdominal pain in a 8-year-old girl with Epstein-Barr infection].
Abdominal pain is uncommon in patient with Epstein-Barr infection and is usually attributed to an enlargement of the liver or spleen. We report on an 8-year-old girl with a pseudoperitonitis due to a mesenteric lymphadenitis associated with Epstein-Barr infection. Outcome was favourable without surgery. We review the different causes of abdominal pain occurring during Epstein-Barr infection.
