  • Title: Case Report: Epstein-Barr Virus Encephalitis Complicated With Brain Stem Hemorrhage in an Immune-Competent Adult.
    Author: Huang L, Zhang X, Fang X.
    Journal: Front Immunol; 2021; 12():618830. PubMed ID: 33717113.
    Abstract:
    Encephalitis caused by Epstein-Barr virus infection is uncommon, but most patients have a good outcome after symptomatic treatment. The infiltration of mononuclear cells in blood vessels and necrosis resulting from the immune response to Epstein-Barr virus infection in a very small number of patients seem to be the main cause of death. We describe a fatal case of Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis diagnosed by next-generation sequencing in an immune-competent adult but progressed to brainstem hemorrhage.
