Abstract
This is a case report of a child with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia and concurrent infection with Epstein‐Barr virus. We hypothesize that immunosuppression due to EBV may have contributed to the severity of his RSV infection. The diagnosis of RSV infection was facilitated by bronchoalveolar lavage.
