Abstract
Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) progresses rapidly in the later stage and has a poor progno sis. The treatments of CAEBV have no unified standard and a bad effect. Only few person could cure. It is im portant to diagnosis early. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) offers an effective means for the diagnosis of difficult, critical and rare pathogenic microbial infections. Here, we report a case of viral pleurisy
caused by CAEBV identified by mNGS in an 88-year-old Chinese male patient.
