[Clinical and hematological manifestations of infectious mononucleosis. Personal cases]

An account of the incidence and features of fever, angina, adenopathy and splenomegaly in infectious mononucleosis is followed by an explanation of the importance of palpebral oedema, nasal obstruction, and exanthema and enanthema, the characteristics of which may prove of diagnostic assistance. Attention is drawn to the presence of maculopapular and itching exanthema, particularly after semi-synthetic penicillins. An assessment is also made of liver, myocardial and renal changes, since it is felt that involvement of these organs is an integral part of the clinical picture.
