On the current article, we present a detailed review of EBV history, the characteristics of its structure and its way of interrelationship with the host, its patterns of activity, latency and reactivation, and the pathological clinical pictures it produces in the skin.

Epstein-Barr virus is best known for causing infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) in adolescents and young adults, although primary EBV infection can be asymptomatic (10%) particularly in children. EBV can also cause other disorders with mucocutaneous features, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many more. Table 1.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) glycoprotein gp350 expressed on transfected cells resistant to natural killer cell activity serves as a target antigen for EBV-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity

EBV infection is associated with a variety of skin diseases, including SLE, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, EM, HSP, urticaria, and atopic dermatitis. EBV belongs to human herpesvirus IV, and the population is generally susceptible. Primary EBV infections are common in children and tend to be asymptomatic or present as IM.
