Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Hepatopulmonary syndrome is commonly seen in the patients with chronic liver disease. Acute liver diseases are rarely associated with HPS. We have reported here a case of Transient HPS caused by Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 31 years old man that came to hospital due to RUQ pain and yellowish skin. In examination the patient was tachypnic and O2 saturation was 71% with prominent JVP. ver enzyme and bilirubin were high. All viral hepatitis was negative except anti viral capsid antigen-antibody of EBV. In Blood gas PaO2 was 54 mmHg, O2 saturation 73% and alveolar-arterial gradient was 18 mmHg. Stress Echocardiography with saline injection reported pulmonary arterial pressure 32 cmHg with delayed opacification of left atrium. CONCLUSION: transient HPS can be manifestation in the acute hepatitis caused by EBV infection.
