Abstract

Viral infections are particularly common after cardiac transplantation. Herein we have presented a case of Epstein-Barr infection that presented as a viral syndrome with respiratory symptoms, but was complicated by multiorgan failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Transplant physicians should be aware of this unique complication of an otherwise self-limited infection.
