“…The identification of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA in endoneurial fluid specimens in 1996 has since been considered evidence of HSV-1 reactivation as one such cause [9]. Other viruses implicated include Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, influenza virus, and SARS-CoV-2, among others [10][11][12][13][14]. Bacterial infections such as Rickettsia and Ehrlichia have also been associated, which, coupled with the association of BP with vaccination [13], suggests that an immune response may be more responsible than the direct neurotoxicity of infections.…”

“…Various neurological complications have been reported in 0.5%–7.5% of patients with acute EBV infection, including facial palsy 3,4 . Facial palsy should be considered carefully in clinical practice, as it may develop a few days 5 or weeks 6,7 after the onset of infectious mononucleosis. In 36% of reported cases, facial palsy was bilateral 4 ; some cases developed unilaterally and subsequently progressed to bilateral, 6 and others presented bilaterally from the beginning 7 .…”
