Abstract

EBV is a gammaherpesvirus that infects a large fraction of the human population. Many people infected with the virus remain asymptomatic. The most common clinical manifestation of EBV is linked to infectious mononucleosis (IM). IM usually resolves over a period of weeks or months without sequelae. However, splenic rupture is another rare complication of IM. Splenic rupture of this case occur without any traumatic cause.
