Abstract
A review of scientific literature data on clinical and epidemiological characterization of viral hepatitis B, C and Epstein-Barr viral infection is presented. Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CyberLeninka, RSCI databases were used to find the necessary literature. It was shown that Epstein-Barr virus along with hepatitis B and C viruses plays a significant role in the development of virus-mediated autoimmune liver diseases, as well as other organs (intestine, heart, kidneys, thyroid gland, etc.). The similarity of these nosologies is also evident in the nature of the course of the disease: the presence of a primary infection in a manifest or latent form, with possible subsequent chronization of the process and its periodic reactivation. Wide distribution of pathogens in the human population determines the possibility of mixed infections with Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis B and C viruses, however, this problem has not been adequately described in the scientific literature. The review suggests that the role of Epstein-Barr virus in the development of liver diseases and extrahepatic pathology should not be ignored, and the combination of this pathogen with hepatitis B and C viruses required further in-depth studies.
