A rare complication of infectious mononucleosis, pleural effusion, can be detected using ultrasound. This imaging technique is crucial for diagnosing pleural effusions in patients with mononucleosis.

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Infectious mononucleosis, a common viral illness, typically affects the oropharynx and lymph nodes.
  • Hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of the liver and spleen) is a frequent finding in infectious mononucleosis.
  • Pleural effusions are an uncommon but recognized complication.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of acute infectious mononucleosis presenting with pleural effusions.
  • Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for identifying pleural effusions.
  • The ultrasound examination is often part of the routine follow-up for liver and spleen involvement in infectious mononucleosis.

Findings:

  • Pleural effusions, though rare, can occur in patients with infectious mononucleosis.

  • Ultrasonography effectively detects these effusions.
  • The presence of pleural effusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of undiagnosed effusions.

    • Implications:

    • Ultrasonography should be considered in the diagnostic workup of infectious mononucleosis patients with respiratory symptoms.
    • Recognizing pleural effusion as a complication aids in timely diagnosis and management.
    • This case highlights the utility of ultrasound in identifying rare complications of infectious mononucleosis.
