A 44-year-old woman with a history of intermittent fever for several years was admitted because of burn on her leg. On admission, she had hepatosplenomegaly and fever. Antibiotic therapy was started for bacterial infection of the burn. She lost her appetite and IVH was started. During the treatment, high fever appeared and chest X-ray films showed multiple nodular infiltrates throughout both lung fields.Candida albicans was isolated from IVH catheter culture and pulmonary candidiasis was suspected. Her fever and lung involvements were successfully treated with fluconazole. During the course, serum anti-EB-VCA-IgG antibody persisted at a hight iter and anti-EBNA antibody remained negative. EB virus DNA was detected in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. Thus, she was diagnosed as chronic active EB virus infection.

A 47-year-old woman was hospitalized because of urinary-tract infection. She was treated with antibiotics for 6 days. However, severe watery diarrhea and pyrexia developed 6 days after stopping administration of antibiotics. Stool, throat and blood cultures were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and negative for Clostridium difficile DI toxin. In spite of administration of VCM, she died of septic shock. At autopsy, macroscopic observation revealed a pseudomembrane in the ileum. MRSA enterocolitis can occur in patients with antibiotic-related diarrhea, and physicians should be aware of its rapid clinical course and possible lethal outcome.
