case_images: Upon admission to our hospital, a chest CT scan revealed the following findings: multiple patchy solid and ground glass opacifications in both lungs, partial cavitary formation, and subpleural mesh lattice changes in the lower lobe of both lungs (Figure 1).

case_images: The pathological examination of the lung biopsy indicated a small amount of free alveolar epithelial and inflammatory exudation (Figure 2), and the EBV encoded RNAs (EBER) in situ hybridization of this lung biopsy was positive (Figure 3).
case_images: Detection of EBER in lung biopsy tissue, ISH (original magnification x400, yellow arrow (brown puncta) indicates EBER signal located in the nucleus).

case_images: Follow-up lung CT after the antiviral treatment showed a decrease in bilateral lung consolidation, with some reduction in cavitary and interstitial changes (Figure 4).
case_images: CT Chest on May 9th, 2023 (further improvement of the inflammatory lesions, more reduction in cavitary and interstitial changes compared with CT Chest on April 27th, 2023).
