Although infectious mononucleosis commonly afflicts young persons, it is now being described more frequently in the elderly. Neurologic manifestations are uncommon, and encephalitis is rare, especially in elderly patients. We have reported a case of acute Epstein-Barr virus infection causing acute encephalitis in a 64-year-old woman. Despite the severity of encephalitis, the patient recovered fully after several weeks.
虽然传染性单核细胞增多症通常困扰年轻人，但现在在老年人中也更频繁地被描述。神经系统表现并不常见，脑炎罕见，尤其是在老年患者中。我们报告了一例64岁女性因急性爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染导致急性脑炎的病例。尽管脑炎严重，但患者在几周后完全康复。
