전염성 단핵구증에 병발한 급성 간염 1례

Abstract

Infectious mononucleosis is characterized by fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, atypical lymphocytosis and heterophil antibody. Icteric hepatitis is rare in infectious mononucleosis. We report a patient with icteric infectious mononucleosis hepatitis. The diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis was confirmed by the demonstration of high serum titier of antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus antigens. Epstein-Barr virus infection causing hepatitis should be suspected when tests for other hepatotrophic viral infections were negative.
