Abstract
This report presents the findings of a study of a 17-year-old male with a selective immunodeficiency to the Epstein-Barr virus, who died of a malignant lymphoma following clinical infectious mononucleosis. Autopsy findings and immunohistochemical techniques demonstrated a malignant lymphoma with B-lymphocyte characteristics which primarily involved the central nervous system (CNS). The relationship of the Epstein-Barr virus to lymphoproliferation is discussed.Keywords
