title: [Professor Pel and 'glandular fever'].
abstract: Pieter Klaesz Pel (1852-1919) was professor of internal medicine at the University of Amsterdam, for more than 35 years. His name - and that of Ebstein - is linked to periodic fever in combination with enlargement of the spleen and the lymphatic system. It is contested whether the patients in question had Hodgkin's disease.
