AB  - INTRODUCTION: Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpes virus 4, transmitted 
      through intimate contact between susceptible persons and asymptomatic EBV 
      shedders. It usually presents with fever, pharyngitis and lymphadenopathy. 
      Majority of individuals with primary EBV infection recover uneventfully. Acute 
      Acalculous Cholecystitis (AAC) is usually seen in hospitalized and critically ill 
      patients with major trauma, shock, severe sepsis, total parenteral nutrition and 
      mechanical ventilation. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 25-year- old woman 
      presented with acute Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)infection and hepatobiliary 
      iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan confirmed presence of Acute Acalculous 
      Cholecystitis (AAC). Conservative management was advised initially, but she had a 
      laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to intolerable abdominal pain. CONCLUSION: AAC 
      is a rare complication of acute EBV infection and it is usually managed 
      conservatively, although our patient had laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to 
      intolerable abdominal pain.
