A 6 year-old girl presented an acute onset of mononucleosis-like syndrome which progressed at day 19 to encephalitis, coma and death at day 27. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology suggested that she suffered from a primary EBV infection. Therapeutic attempt with acyclovir did not improve the fatal course of the disease.
