Ji Mok Kim, Chun Woo Song, Kyu Sang Song, Jae Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(Suppl 1):S68-S71.   Published online November 30, 2016

Infectious mononucleosis is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) inducing a self-limiting clinical syndrome characterized by fever, sore throat, hepatosplenomegaly, and generalized lymphadenopathy. Gastrointestinal symptoms of EBV infection are nonspecific and occur rarely. EBV inducing acute gastrointestinal pathology is poorly recognized without suspicion. Careful consideration is needed to diagnose gastric involvement of EBV infection including gastric lymphoma, gastric cancer, and gastritis. A few...

Infectious mononucleosis is an acute infectious disease occurring predominantly in older children and young adults due to primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. The clinical picture is extremely variable in both severity and duration. The disease in children is generally mild. It is characterized clinically by fever, exudative or membranous pharyngitis, generalized lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. Rarely, it complicates neurologic involvement such as cranial nerve palsy, meningoencephalitis, and...
