Abstract

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.
