BACKGROUND: Both Epstein-Barr and measles viruses (MV) cause immune suppression, and the association of the two viruses is evaluated as life threatening. The cell immune impairment caused by simultaneous Epstein-Barr and measles viral infections was responsible for the complicated course of the disease in all described previously reports and for unfavorable outcomes in most of the cases. Timely diagnosis of coincidental viral infections could be a useful predictor for the clinical course and complications. Diagnosis must be based on an accurate assessment of clinical, hematologic, serologic manifestations and supported by appropriate laboratory methods. Recognizing the infectious etiology of concomitant infections is important for both clinicians and epidemiologists.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case report of a 20-year-old woman previously vaccinated against measles infected with acute mononucleosis and coincidental measles virus infection.
STUDY DESIGN: The clinical, routine laboratory, as well as serological and virologic findings of this patient were scrutinized. Special emphasis was placed on the use of RT-PCR/PCR for confirming the involvement of both measles virus and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in this patient's illness.
RESULTS: Infectious mononucleosis was not suspected at admission to the hospital. The final diagnosis of a concomitant measles virus infection and acute infectious mononucleosis was facilitated using viral serology to detect virus-specific IgG and IgM antibodies and by RT-PCR for the detection of measles virus RNA and EBV DNA from peripheral blood monocyte cells (PBMC).
CONCLUSION: The present report highlights the difficulty of diagnosing two coincidental virus infections on clinical grounds. Serological and molecular laboratory methods, specifically the PCR (RT-PCR) analysis, are found to be useful for confirming the concomitant viral infections and proper identification of the infecting pathogens.
