ABSTRACT
In this study, the clinical features of 264 patients of primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection between the years of 2002-2006 were evaluated retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 6 years old (0-69), and the hospitalization rate was 78.0%. Fever (83.3%) and sore throat (50.4%) were the most common symptoms. Cervical lymphadenopathy (71.2%), tonsillitis (51.1%), splenomegaly (26.1 %), hepatomegaly (25.8%), rash (10.2%) and jaundice (1.5%) were observed. Cervical lymphadenopathy was less frequent in older age groups. The annual number of primary EBV infections according to the age group during the study period did not change significantly in this study.
