Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in Infectious Mononucleosis

Clinical Evaluation of Acetohexamide, A New Sulfonylurea Agent

“…Normal upper limits for the alkaline phosphatase and SGPT were considered to be 4.0 Bessie-Lowry units and 40 units respectively. 5 Although the normal value for alkaline phosphatase in this hospital was stated to be below 2.3 Bessie-Lowry units, this criterion was discarded since sixteen of the twenty patients had values above this while receiving placebo. There was no other evidence, either clinically or by laboratory tests, of underlying hepatic disease in these patients.…”

Concurrent Infectious Mononucleosis and Acute Myelocytic Leukemia

“…Many observ ations indicate the predominance of abnormal liver function in infectious mononucleosis. F utterw eit [7] pointed out the frequent elevation of ser um alkaline phosphatase, in many cases disproportionate to serum biliru bin values. Increases of alkaline phosphatase have been reported in cyto megalovirus mononucleosis [11], which is very closely related to infec tious mononucleosis, both with regard to clinical picture and causal agent.…”
