Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection can cause secondary hemophagocytic syndrome and severe chronic active disease. The diseases are characterized by pathologic hyperergic reaction manifested by fever, cytopenia, and multiple organ failure. Cytostatic therapy reduces inflammatory response, allows for infection resolution, or stabilizes the patient before the next stage of treatment. This paper reviews current knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of EBV-associated diseases with the main focus on chemotherapy for EBV-associated secondary hemophagocytic syndrome and chronic active disease.
