Background: HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis case fatality remains greater than 25%. Co-prevalent infections might contribute to poor outcomes. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence and the clinical significance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus co-infections in patients with cryptococcal meningitis to guide potential therapeutic interventions.

A subset of gastric cancers (GCs) is linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. This study aims to characterize the histopathological and molecular features of EBV-associated GCs (EBVaGCs), focusing on predictive biomarkers and genomic and transcriptomic analysis. A total of 35 primary EBVaGCs were considered.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a widely used transplant method for different cancerous and non-cancerous conditions, particularly when conventional treatments fail. Again, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), one of the major contributors to gastric carcinoma can cause post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) after transplantations. However, the global prevalence of EBV-associated PTLD in HSCT recipients is yet to be determined.

A 14-year-old boy was initially diagnosed with erosive oral lichen planus based on clinical and histopathological findings. However, the atypical clinical course and resistance to immunosuppressive therapy raised suspicion for an autoinflammatory disorder or inborn error of immunity. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic SH2D1A mutation, confirming X-linked lymphoproliferative disease type 1 (XLP-1) in the absence of Epstein-Barr virus exposure.

Primary cutaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive polymorphic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is a rare LPD associated with iatrogenic and endogenous immune dysregulation with the commonest risk factor being immunosuppressive therapy. We present a 55-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, previously on methotrexate, who developed a waxing and waning papulonodular eruption on the chest and neck. Histopathology revealed a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with atypical EBV+/CD30+ B cells, consistent with EBV+ polymorphic B-cell LPD.
