Context: To describe this new clinical entity, diagnosis, and potential management of pediatric intratonsillar/peritonsillar abscesses in children affected by infectious mononucleosis.
Methods: After institutional review board approval, a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent testing for infectious mononucleosis and also had a computed tomography scan of the head and neck was completed. Those who did not have imaging showing the palatine tonsils and those with insufficient testing to diagnose infectious mononucleosis were excluded.

Article Synopsis
- Acute hepatic illness is a significant health concern among children, with a study of 268 symptomatic cases aiming to assess the prevalence of viral hepatitis.
- Acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) was confirmed in 97% of the cases, while very few were linked to other viruses like Epstein-Barr virus.
- The majority of children with HAV showed normal lab results and recovered quickly, though some exhibited atypical symptoms, indicating unique patterns of hepatitis A in endemic regions.

Importance: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) recently has been shown to be an antecedent infection in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), but the clinical spectrum of HEV-associated GBS is not yet documented, and diagnosing acute HEV infection can be a challenge.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of HEV-associated GBS in a Belgian cohort, study the clinical spectrum of HEV-associated GBS, and discuss difficulties in diagnosing acute HEV infection.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2007, and November 1, 2015.
