Patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections (CAEBV) present with cutaneous manifestations including hydroa vacciniforme-like eruptions.1 Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a fatal complication, can occur in severe cases of CAEBV.2,3 We retrieved 25 cases of CAEBV treated in our hospital and histopathologically characterized the skin lesions of 3 of those cases, including one case with haemophagocytosis. This is a novel report of CAEBV with haemophagocytosis in the skin. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
