Question
Which department should I visit for pediatric EBV infection?
Answer
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections are typically treated in the department of infectious diseases or internal medicine clinics. This virus is very common, with estimates suggesting that over 95% of adults carry it. It is not only the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis but also associated with the development of nasopharyngeal cancer and pediatric lymphoma. If a child is diagnosed with EBV infection, the doctor will provide appropriate treatment and monitoring based on the symptoms and severity of the infection.
