| Popis: |
A patient is presented with a virologically and serologically confirmed posttransfusion cytomegalovirus mononucleosis followed by the appearance of heterophil and EB virus antibodies. The patient received blood from one donor only, having antibodies to both viruses. This fact is compatible with the supposition that the donor was a carrier of both cytomegalovirus and EB virus. It is suggested that there may be two kinds of posttransfusion mononucleosis, differing in causative agent and in clinical picture. One of these is caused by cytomegalovirus and is not attended by heterophil antibodies. The other is accompanied by a positive heterophil antibody test and usually by lymphadenopathy and is associated with EB virus or a closely related agent. The latter is indistinguishable from classical infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever. Both types were observed in the patient concerned. |
