ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between the clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data in 172 patients diagnosed as infectious mononucleosis(IM)in our department recently.Results The onset rate was high from 3 to7 years old.The main clinical presentations included fever,neck lymphadenopathy,pharyngitis,hepatomegaly,and splenomegaly.Some patients accompanied with obvious sonorous.The occurring rate of the complications was 74.4%,especially deteriorated liver function was the most common,next came to the lung infection.The proportion of atypical lymphocytes raised in 73.3% cases.The positive rate of EBV-VCA-IGM was 65.1%.Myocardium ferment chart went up in 27.9% cases,Erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased fast in 61.6%,CRP gently got higher in 62.8%.However,the ratio of atypical lymphocyte and EBV-VCA-IGM positive or negative had little to do with the pathologic condition and complications in IM.Conclusions The clinical progress of most IM is benign and multiple organs can be involved with atypical clinical manifestations.Examination for atypical lymphocytes is an easy and effective means to screen IM.
