TONSILLECTOMY AND INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1978
Tonsillar tissue may be the primary site of infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the etiologic agent of classical infectious mononucleosis (IM). Therefore, a retrospective study of the association between tonsillectomy and IM was performed in a college student population. In the first part of the study, tonsillectomy rates were compared between 164

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

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972
To the Editor.— We are inclined to agree with Dr. Kenneth Rose (221: 195, 1972) of the University of Nebraska Health Service. In 16 years' experience with cases of infectious mononucleosis, and representing thousands of cases, usually with two to three years of follow-up study (since the majority of our cases are in the underclassmen, coming to us ...
