Abstract
A case of Epstein-Barr virus infection with neurological complications is described. An 18-year-old man developed cranial neuropathy and peripheral sensorimotor polyneuropathy three weeks after a sore throat. Though severely affected initially, he made a good recovery and no specific therapeutic intervention appears to have influenced his clinical course.
