Abstract
Infectious myositis is quite common and usually occurs in the context of Influenza viruses. Recently there has been a surge of reports of myositis in the setting of Covid-19 infection. A 34 year old man presented to us with fever, uveitis and myositis. Myositis was diagnosed with clinical and electrophysiological features. Confirmation was obtained by muscle MRI. Extensive testing revealed a convalescent phase of Epstein Barr viral [EBV] infection. This report reiterates the importance of acute EBV in the differential diagnosis of acute viral myositis and the dramatic changes on muscle MRI.
