  • Title: Occurrence of Epstein-Barr virus illness in children diagnosed with group A streptococcal pharyngitis.
    Author: Rush MC, Simon MW.
    Journal: Clin Pediatr (Phila); 2003 Jun; 42(5):417-20. PubMed ID: 12862344.
    Abstract:
    Epstein-Barr virus mononucleosis and group A streptococcal pharyngitis are acute infectious processes similar in both their clinical manifestations. Coinfections may occur and be a direct result of a synergistic effect on inflamed pharyngeal and tonsillar tissue. It was our observation that a population of children diagnosed with group A streptococcal pharyngitis and not responding to appropriate antimicrobial therapy had Epstein-Barr virus illness.
