[Hepatic granulomatosis associated with mononucleosis syndrome secondary to cytomegalovirus infection: apropos of 2 cases in healthy adults].
In this study, the authors report two observations of granulomatous hepatitis. The secondary appearance of a mononucleosis syndrome, three weeks after the onset of fever, in healthy adults, evoked the diagnosis of a cytomegalovirus infection. The authors insist on the histologic and virologic differences of the CMV infection between the healthy adults and the immunodepressed patients. They also note the difficulties of the diagnosis of the CMV infection in healthy adults.
