Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is characterized by recurrent infectious mononucleosis-like symptoms, and infected patients have high viral loads in their peripheral blood. Standard therapy for the disease has not yet been established. Recently, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been introduced and has the potential to become a standard treatment, although guidelines for HSCT to treat chronic active EBV infection have not yet been proposed.
