A 44-year-old man developed blurry vision, photosensitivity, orthostasis, constipation, and acrodysesthesias after a febrile illness. The neurologic examination and ancillary studies were consistent with a dysautonomic small fiber neuropathy. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contained both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and antibody to EBV. This is the first report of an acute autonomic neuropathy with documented EBV infection in CSF.
