Abstract
A 10 yr study of infectious mononucleosis and concomitant peritonsillar abscess in an ENT [ear, nose and throat] department was analyzed. The incidence of this combination was 1% among all patients admitted for infectious mononucleosis. Only 1 patient showed signs of relative upper airway obstruction. All 4 patients improved shortly after stab incision. In diagnostic considerations and treatment it is important to consider the rare combination of infectious mononucleosis and peritonsillar abscess.
