Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the herpes virus family and is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, and sore throat. In this report, we present a 20-year-old woman with a four-day history of fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, jaundice and abdominal pain, and a diagnosis of acalculous cholecystitis, acute hepatitis with hemolytic anemia due to infectious mononucleosis. After the confirmation of acute acalculous cholecystitis along with hemolytic anemia, prednisolone was initiated for the patient. Supportive measures resolved the symptoms of acalculous cholecystitis.
