ABSTRACT
A six-year-old boy was admitted with acute agranulocytosis four weeks after the onset of infectious mononucleosis. His bone marrow aspiration revealed maturation arrest of myeloid series. He was hospitalized for agranulocytosis and he was put on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (400 mg/kg/day) on the third day of hospitalization for two days. His white blood cell count increased to 4200/mm3 (1176 PMNL absolutely) on the fifth day. This may suggest that IVIG therapy may be effective for early recovery from agranulocytosis which is a very rare complication of infectious mononucleosis.
