Abstract

Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a multisystem illness that occurs frequently in older children and adolescents. Typically, malaise, fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly are the predominant symptoms. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, serum GOT, GPT, and GGT levels were elevated, and antibodies to Epstein-Barr viral capsid, early, and nuclear antigens were diagnostic of a primary EpsteinBarr virus infection. Pulmonary infiltrates are a well-recognized complication, but pleural effusions are rare, especially in the pediatric population. We have described a seven-year-old child in whom a pleural effusion complicated an otherwise typical case of IM. Although rare, pleural effusions are a possible complication of infectious mononucleosis. This complication is detectable by ultrasonographies and chest X-ray examinations. As a result, IM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions in children.

Özet

Enfeksiyoz mononükleoz çocuklarda ve adölesanlarda sık görülen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Tipik olarak halsizlik, ateş, boğaz ağrısı, lenfadenopati ve hepatosplenomegali hastalığın beklenen bulgularıdır. Laboratuvar incelemelerinde lökositoz, serum AST, ALT ve GGT seviyelerinde yükseklik beklenmektedir. Primer EBV virüs enfeksiyonlarının tanısında Epstein-Barr viral kapsit, erken ve nükleer antijenlerine karşı antikorlar oluşur. Pulmoner infiltrasyonlar bilinen bir komplikasyon olmasına rağmen plevral efüzyon pediatrik popülasyonda nadirdir. Biz burada yedi yaşındaki bir çocukta enfeksiyoz mononükleozun beklenmedik bir komplikasyonu olarak plevral efüzyon gelişen bir olguyu sunduk. Bunu göğüs grafisi ve ultrasonografik olarak gösterdik. Sonuç olarak, çocuklarda plevral efüzyonun ayırıcı tanısında enfeksiyoz mononükleoz göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
