Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is the causative agent of multiple diseases. EBV DNA in blood is a useful diagnostic marker of primary EBV infection and reactivation. This study aimed to provide epidemiological information on children with EBV-associated diseases identified by positive EBV DNA in Hangzhou, a city in East China. All children admitted to the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2010 to 2015 with suspected EBV-related diseases and serum EBV DNA tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were included. Of the 10 470 children, 1205 were determined to have positive EBV DNA, and the positive rate was 11.5%. 15.8% (973 of 6162) of the illnesses of patients aged 1 to 7 years were caused by EBV as compared to that of 6.6% (179 of 2708) of children older than 7 years (P < .01) and 3.3% (53 of 1600) of of that of infants
