Upper GIT endoscopy was done and revealed multiple linear antral ulcers arranged radially “sunflower ulcers”. Six biopsy specimens were taken for histological examination. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimens revealed chronic active follicular gastritis, negative for Helicobacter pylori, negative for intestinal metaplasia, Positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), negative for herpes simplex virus and negative for cytomegalovirus. Findings were confirmed by further immune-histochemichal staining for EBV.
