Infectious Mononucleosis With Fatal Neuronitis

Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with typhoid fever.

“…6, and herpes simplex have been associated with this syndrome. Infectious mononucleosis and infectious hepatitis, too, have also been so associated (Davie, Ceballos, and Little, 1963;Gautier-Smith, 1965).

Fatal infectious mononucleosis: a critical review.

“…The diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis is satisfactorily documented in nine reports in this category: those by Thomsen and Vimtrup (1939, cases 1 and 3); Ricker, Blumberg, Peters, and Widerman (19471, case 1); Dolgopol and Husson (1949); Reske-Nielsen and Mogensen (1955); Erwin, Weber, and Manning (1959); Bergin (1960); Murray (1960); and Davie, Ceballos, and Little (1963). In each of these nine cases the total leucocyte count was at least 5,100/c mm and at least 1,400/c mm abnormal forms were present.…”
