Abstract
A case report is given of infectious mononucleosis (IM) accidentally transmitted to a patient by transfusion. The donor, two days after giving 450 ml citrated blood, experienced malaise and IM was diagnosed with a typical clinical and haematological course. The citrated blood was stored for three days before the donation. The transfused patient three weeks later developed a febrile syndrome with general adenopathy and the haematological features of IM. The diagnosis of IM was supported by a positive horse‐cell slide‐agglutination test (EMNI test).Keywords
