Cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr Virus Co-infection in a Patient With Chronic Granulomatous Disease Co-existing With Familial Mediterranean Fever and Early-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Case Report

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 CYBB 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.
