Abstract
A boy with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV) developed bila teral exophthalmos by infiltrating EBV-infected natural-killer cells during combined chemotherapy. This unusual presentation resolved completely after allogeneic bone-marrow transplantation, and EBV-infected peripheral T and natural-killer cells were also eradicated.
