[Fatal course of acute appendicitis associated with infectious mononucleosis].
The case history is presented of a 10-year-old boy with a fatal combination of acute appendicitis and infectious mononucleosis, in the literature a particularly rare combination. The boy died of a perforative peritonitis. His appendicitis appeared not to be a complication of the infectious mononucleosis.
