Spleen rupture in infectious mononucleosis: report of one case.
Spleen rupture has been a rare but feared complication in patients with infectious mononucleosis. There have been many cases reported during the last decade. However, it has rarely been mentioned among the young infant group. Here, we present a case of an infant, two months of age, who suffered from spleen rupture due to infectious mononucleosis, and was latter cured by himself under conservative treatment.
