title: Acute non-immune haemolytic anaemia during infectious mononucleosis unmasking spherocytosis.
abstract: We report a case of acute haemolytic anaemia complicating infectious mononucleosis in a 19-year old male. There was no evidence for an immune haemolysis and red cell studies revealed a previously undiagnosed congenital spherocytosis. We discuss this rare presentation.
