Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with hypersensitivity to mosquito bites (HMB) and fatal EBV‐associated hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). The prognosis of patients with chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) is very poor. We report a rare case of an adult woman patient with a 28‐yr history of HMB, who developed EBV‐HPS. EBV genome was detected in the serum and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Clonal proliferation of EBV was demonstrated by Southern blot analysis using an EBV genome terminal‐repeat probe. This is a very rare case of a long‐term survivor with CAEBV. The patient was initially treated with immunochemotherapy and achieved complete remission. However, the patient immediately relapsed and underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from her HLA‐matched brother. Peripheral blood cell recovered well, and EBV genome disappeared from the peripheral blood. Allogeneic BMT may be effective in eradicating EBV‐HPS. Unfortunately, the patient died of graft vs. host disease on the 92nd day after BMT.
