Lumbosacral Radiculoplexopathy as a Manifestation of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection
Neurol 43:2550-2554, Sharma,K.R.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report the clinical features of five patients with lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy(LSRP),and one patient with a femoral neuropathy,all of whom had serologic evidence of a recent Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection. After a thorough investigation,no other etiology was apparent.Pain was a prominent feature in all cases,and the prognosis was generally good,with recovery in weeks to months.We conclude that LSRP may occur as a postinfectious process following recent EBV infection.
