Space-time clustering in infectious mononucleosis.

Space-time clustering in infectious mononucleosis.

A good deal of work has been published in recent years on tests of space-time clustering applied to diseases of possible but unproved infectiousness. In particular, they have been used to test evidence suggestive of the infectivity of neoplastic conditions such as leukaemia and Burkitt's lymphoma. It seemed to us worth reporting the following rather unexpected results, obtained during a study o...

Glandular Fever: Infectious Mononucleosis

Granulocyte changes in infectious mononucleosis.

Various changes in the granulocytes have been investigated in a large series of patients with infectious mononucleosis. A high proportion of cases regularly show a neutropenia with a shift to the left during the first three to four weeks of the disease; these changes, though transient, may be profound. The band cells present during the acute phase of the disease also show certain alterations in...

Chronic infectious mononucleosis.

I N A GROUP of 2.06 patients who had infectious mononucleosis, had some symptoms which persisted for from three months to at least four years or longer. The syndrome included ease of fatigue, exhaustion, aching of the legs, weakness, depression, afternoon elevation of temperature (99.8 to 101 F.), moderate splenomegaly, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, often low specific gravity of the urin...
