Core Tip	Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is common and can cause serious complications in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Young EBV-seronegative children are especially at increased risk because primary infection or viral reactivation may progress to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Routine EBV viral load monitoring, timely immunosuppressive therapy adjustment, and early intervention are crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality. A deeper understanding of EBV pathogenesis, combined with individualized management strategies, is essential for improving long-term outcomes in this high-risk population.
