Clinical Characteristics of Infectious Mononucleosis: A Retrospective Study

The "infectious Mononucleosis Cell". a Cytochemical Study.

iii infectious mononucleosis has been the subject of controversy. It is now generally accepted that they belong to the lymphocytic series 3 although an occasional worker4 holds out for their monocytic origin. Recently, Paegle,#{176} usmg the electron microscope, found that most of the cells in the blood of l) ttients with infectious mononucleosis contained organelles similar to those of the cel...

Clinical and paraclinical aspects of infectious mononucleosis

Results The incidence of infectious mononucleosis was highest in the age group 15 to 24. The age of the patient has a profound influence on the clinical expression of EBV infection. The incidence of EBV infection is higher in urban environment, where the interhuman contact is closer, and also the addressability to health-care services is better and the laboratory diagnosis is more easily availa...

Diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.

A cohort study of cancer following infectious mononucleosis.

Reports of 4,529 cases of infectious mononucleosis diag nosed during the years 1948-1964 among residents of Connecticut were identified through existing records and matched against a register of cancer cases covering the same population. The overall cancer risk following infectious mononucleosis was increased with 33 cancers observed compared to 24.4 expected for a relative risk of 1.4. Althoug...

A Prospective Study of Infectious Mononucleosis in College Students

BACKGROUND The present study aims to prospectively investigate possible biological and psychological factors present in college students who will go on to develop chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) following Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). Identification of risk factors predisposing patients towards developing CFS may help to understand the underlying mechanisms and ultimately prevent its occurrence...
