Abstract

Acute infectious mononucleosis occurring simultaneously with Hodgkin's disease in the same patient is a unique circumstance. Whether these conditions are related basically cannot be determined on the basis of this case; it is possible that they occurred coincidentally in this patient. REPORT OF CASE A 20-year-old white female college student became acutely ill May 4, 1952, with a transient episode of three to four loose stools per day for three or four days. Spontaneously, this condition cleared up. On May 12, 1952, anorexia, malaise, lethargy, generalized myalgia, fatigability, and weakness developed. She had a fever of 103 F, followed by a series of chills. Two days later the patient vomited once, and at that time physical examination revealed a few very small nodes in the anterior cervical chain. A slight headache appeared six days after the above com plaints. During the six days intervening between the onset of
