ABSTRACT
The authors discuss present aspects in infectious mononucleosis, with reference to the cases admitted to the Clinic of communicable Diseases of Cluj-Napoca, i.e. 115 cases during the 1954--1973 period (3 to 13 cases a year). In most cases the clinical symptomatology was mild and the laboratory tests typical not giving rise to any diagnostic difficulties. However, 28 cases (25%) presented jaundice, with positive hepatic tests, so that a differential diagnosis was established with viral hepatitis. In 9 cases nervous manifestations were reported 4 encephalitis, 1 neuritis of the hypoglossal nerve, 2 facial paralysis, 2 benign serous meningitis cases, all of which fully recovered. The Paul Bunnel-Hanganutiu test was positive in titers of 1 40 -- 1 1280, in all the cases. Corticotherapy was applied with good results in 24 cases. All the cases ran a favourable course. On admission, 45% of the patients came with a diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis; the others were admitted with a diagnosis of diphteric angina, viral hepatitis, influenza, German measles, mups, typhoid fever, prolonged febrile syndrome.
