[Epstein-Barr virus meningoencephalitis. Considerations on a very unusual clinical manifestation in adults].
The authors report a case of meningoencephalitis occurring as a complication in an adult suffering from infective mononucleosis. As well as the clinical and serological aspects of the pathology, the authors analyse the main and most recent etiopathogenetic hypotheses responsible for neurological symptoms, and pay special attention to the indirect namely immunomediated action of the virus.
