  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We observed two boys, aged 9 and 4 years, who suffered from optic neuritis and were positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The first case presented with acute optic papillitis. Physical findings were inconspicu-ous. DNA for EBV was detected by polymerasechain reaction (PCR) in CSF. The second case was hospitalized for aseptic meningitis with secondary optic neuritis. Serological examinations of CSF showed virus capsid antigen (VCA) IgG antibody for EBV. DNA for EBV was again detected by PCR method. No evidence for EBV was found in 5 other cases of infantile aseptic meningitis without optic neuritis. Above findings suggest that EBV may be associated in the pathogenesis of some cases of infantile optic neuritis.
