We report a case of subacute-onset isolated parkinsonian syndrome in a 16 years old patient. Epstein-Barr infection was diagnosed according to serologic evidences. Parkinson-like syndrome completely recovered after 60 days. Autoantibodies reacting against a 130 Kda antigens expressed in human neuroblastoma cell line were detected. Pathogenesis and differential diagnosis are briefly discussed. EBV testing could be worthwhile in juvenile, acute-onset, parkinsonism.

Abstract
We report a case of subacute-onset isolated parkinsonian syndrome in a 16 years old patient. Epstein-Barr infection was diagnosed according to serologic evidences. Parkinson-like syndrome completely recovered after 60 days. Autoantibodies reacting against a 130 Kda antigens expressed in human neuroblastoma cell line were detected. Pathogenesis and differential diagnosis are briefly discussed. EBV testing could be worthwhile in juvenile, acute-onset, parkinsonism.
