Abstract

This is the report of a patient with a 4-day history of a non-specific febrile syndrome, characterized by abdominal pain in the abscense of previous trauma. The abdominal ultrasound and Computerized Tomography showed marked hepatosplenomegaly and blood in the peritoneal cavity. An emergency splenectomy was performed, and the hospital course was complicated by and acute pancreatitis with a low-output fistula. The pathology specimen revealed the presence of a histologic picture compatible with Infectious Mononucleosis (IM), previously confirmed with serologic tests. The patient received antibiotics and had a favorable clinical course.
