Pleural effusion, a rare complication, can occur in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM). This case highlights the importance of considering IM in the differential diagnosis of pediatric pleural effusions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a common viral illness in adolescents and young adults.
  • Complications of IM are typically mild, but significant sequelae can occur.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old child presented with symptoms consistent with IM.
  • The child subsequently developed a pleural effusion, a rare but documented complication.

Findings:

  • This case report details a pediatric patient experiencing a pleural effusion secondary to infectious mononucleosis.
  • Pleural effusions are an uncommon but recognized complication of IM.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should include infectious mononucleosis in the differential diagnosis for pediatric patients presenting with pleural effusion.
