A case of infectious mononucleosis was presented. She was admitted to the hospital with the anterior cervical lymphadenopathy. Erythematous skin rashes on both low extermities, and splenomegaly. Her chief complaints were fever and sore throat. She showed atypical lymphocytes in peripheral blood smear with relative lymphocytosis. Mono-spot test was positive. She received symptomatic therapy and discharged without any complications. So, we report this case and review the brief literatures of infectious mononucleosis with the respect to etiology, clinical course, and histological characteristics of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effect of recombinant human interferon α1b assisting acyclovir on immune function, inflammatory factors, and myocardial zymogram in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM). METHODS: A total of 182 children with IM who were admitted to the hospital from January to December, 2018, were divided into an observation group with 91 children and a control group with 91 children using a random number table. The children in the control group were treated with intravenous drip of acyclovir, and those in the observation group were treated with inhalation of recombinant human interferon α1b in addition to the treatment in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of clinical symptoms, immune function, inflammatory response, myocardial zymogram, and adverse reactions. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly shorter time to body temperature recovery and disappearance of isthmopyra, cervical lymph node enlargement, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant increases in CD4, CD4/CD8, and CD19, and the observation group had significantly higher levels of these markers than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant reductions in the levels of CD8+, tumor necrosis factor-α, interlukin-6, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-MB, and the treatment group had significantly lower levels of these markers than the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups after treatment (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS For children with IM, recombinant human interferon α1b assisting acyclovir can effectively improve immune function, inhibit inflammatory reaction, reduce myocardial injury, and thus alleviate clinical symptoms.

During the course of infectious mononucleosis, intake of ampicillin and its analogues such as amoxicillin may cause hypersensitivity skin rashes. We report herein a case of ampicillin induced skin rash in a 41-year-old female patient with infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis was confirrned by datetion of IgM antibody against Epstein-Barr(EB) viral capsid antigen(VCA) in her serum. During the icuteillness, she taked ampicillin for 3 days, and 1 week after the intake of ampicillin, a genertliz:d erythernatous and purpuric maculopapualr eruption developed. Physicians should be careful not to use ampicillin and its analogue if batients are suspected to be infected with EB virus as ampicillin induces severe skin rashes in patients with infectious mononucleosis.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent pathogen, with 98~100% of Korean adults showing prior exposure by serology. A primary infection, such as CMV infectious mononucleosis, is very rare. CMV infectious mononucleosis often presents an initial diagnostic problem. Patients are often hospitalized with a wide variety of clinical diagnoses including fever of unknown origin without pharyngitis and lymphadenopathy. CMV gastrointestinal infections are rare in previously immunocompetent individuals. The most common sites involved are the colon and rectum, although lesions of the stomach have also been described. It is unusual to see CMV infectious mononucleosis and CMV gastrointestinal infection in the same patient. Our patient received symptomatic treatment and fully recovered. We present a case of CMV infectious mononucleosis with gastric ulcers in a previously healthy adult.

It is well known that the Ebstein-Barr virus causes not only infectious mononucleosis in the most cases, but also occasionally causes a variety of hematologic disorders such as anemia (hemolytic anemia or aplastic anemia), thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and malignancies such as Burkitt lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Furthermore, recently it is has been reported that it causes leukemia even though very rarely. The authors report a case of erythroleukemia possibly related to chronic Ebstein-Barr virus infection in a 14-year-old boy with brief review of related literatures.
