Abstract
Infectious mononucleosis is usually a benign disease and is rarely fatal. The possibility of such serious complications as ruptured spleen and neurologic manifestations does not justify precautionary prolonged bed rest. The hepatitis which is an almost universal aspect of mononucleosis does not threaten either the patient's future health or his longevity. Corticosteroid therapy may be lifesaving in the occasional severe cases of infectious mononucleosis.
