  • Title: Infectious mononucleosis complicated by lingual tonsillitis.
    Author: Har-El G, Josephson JS.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1990 Aug; 104(8):651-3. PubMed ID: 2230566.
    Abstract:
    Although upper airway obstruction and superimposed infection are well-known complications of infectious mononucleosis, lingual tonsillitis in this context has not been mentioned in the literature. We describe a case of acute bacterial lingual tonsillitis with airway obstruction complicating infectious mononucleosis. The role of the base of tongue region in the pathophysiology of infectious mononucleosis is discussed.
