Abstract
Chronic active EBV infection is a rare condition with considerable diagnostic and treatment difficulties. We herein report the case of a 27-year old female presenting with headaches and diplopia who deteriorated rapidly following her diagnosis, with confirmed EBV-infected T-lymphocyte deposits in multiple tissue sites including temporalis muscle and liver.
