Never too old: A case of fatal epstein barr virus pneumonia in an immunocompetent adult
A 67-year-old immunocompetent male with COPD on supplemental oxygen presented with shortness of breath and was initially treated for bronchitis exacerbation with initial suspicion of bacterial pneumonia. He was later found to have EBV pneumonia diagnosed via positive EBV on bronchoalveolar lavage PCR. Severe lung involvement has been rarely reported in context of acute EBV infection. Treatment for this entity has not yet been established, with few reports of acyclovir and steroid use. This report describes the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute EBV pneumonia.
