  • Title: Infectious mononucleosis and agranulocytosis.
    Author: Eriksson KF, Holmberg L, Bergstrand CG.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1979; 11(4):307-9. PubMed ID: 231301.
    Abstract:
    Infectious mononucleosis is often complicated by haematological abnormalities but agranulocytosis is so rare that a causal relationship has been questioned. We here describe 2 sisters, 3 and 5 years old, who both developed agranulocytosis or profound granulocytopenia 4-5 weeks after the acute onset of mononucleosis. No contributory cause could be found and we conclude that a constitutional disposition may be responsible for this complication.
