  • Title: Mononucleosis-like illness as a manifestation of carbamazepine-induced anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome.
    Author: Maquiera E, Yañez S, Fernández L, Rodríguez F, Picáns I, Sánchez I, Jeréz J.
    Journal: Allergol Immunopathol (Madr); 1996; 24(2):87-8. PubMed ID: 8933895.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of infectious mononucleosis-like as a manifestation of carbamazepine-induced anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome. Patch testing to carbamazepine and phenytoin were positive and negative to phenobarbital. Our results suggest a cell mediated type of immune response in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. Patch testing may be helpful in the diagnosis of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome caused by carbamazepine.
