The association between primary immunodeficiencies and autoinflammatory disorders has been popularized over the past decade. In this report, we illustrated the co-infection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in a three-year-old Jordanian male patient with an extremely rare variant of the gene (c.125C>G, p.Thr42Arg) associated with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) coexisting with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). CGD and FMF co-existence induced early-onset inflammatory bowel disease mainly resembling Crohn's disease.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is closely associated with the development of various tumors such as lymphomas and epithelial cancers. EBV has a discrete life cycle with latency and lytic phases. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of the mechanism underlying the transition of EBV from latency to lytic replication.

While primary EBV infection triggers severe diseases in each, lymphomas occur at high rates with XLP-1 but not with XLP-2. Why XLP-2 patients are apparently protected from EBV-driven lymphomagenesis, in contrast to all other described congenital conditions that result in heightened susceptibility to EBV, remains a key open question.

Gastric cancer (GC), one of the tumours with the highest mortality worldwide, is not a homogeneous disease, showing different features according to location, macroscopic aspect, histotype and molecular alterations. Adenocarcinoma is the most frequent epithelial GC (95%), the remaining 5% comprising rare epithelial tumours with their peculiarities, behaviour and incidence <6 cases/100,000/year. Due to the low number of cases, many aspects must be elucidated in this context.

Background: Cardiovascular involvement is a rare but severe complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections. Patients with chronic active EBV (CAEBV) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications and have a poor prognosis. Here, we report the rare case of a pediatric patient with CAEBV and EBV- hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) complicated with a giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) and thrombosis, a giant Valsalva sinus aneurysm, and ascending aorta dilation seven years after the disease onset.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of herpesvirus detection by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) on lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) patients' lung microbiome composition and prognosis.
Patients And Methods: We initially enrolled 234 hospitalized patients with LRTIs who underwent BALF mNGS between February 2022 and May 2023. The study analyzed the clinical manifestations and the pulmonary microbial composition between herpesvirus detection (HD) and non-herpesvirus detection (non-HD) group.
