title: Severe hypoglycaemia in a patient with glycogen storage disease type III induced by infectious mononucleosis.
abstract: A 10-month-old girl with glycogen storage disease type III developed recurrent severe hypoglycaemia induced by infectious mononucleosis. Severe metabolic damage probably reflected a rapid breakdown of liver cells induced by the viral infection.
