Department of Internal Medicine, KIMSHEALTH, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical differences between infectious mononucleosis (IMN) caused by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and mononucleosis-like symptoms caused by Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a South Indian hospital from 2017 to 2023.
- A total of 136 cases of IMN and 17 cases of CMV mononucleosis were analyzed, finding that CMV patients were significantly older, had longer fever durations, and exhibited fewer common symptoms like sore throat and lymphadenopathy.
- The findings suggest that CMV mononucleosis is more prevalent in older adults, characterized by prolonged fever and fewer throat-related symptoms, highlighting the need for awareness in distinguishing between the two

- A thorough examination for symptoms beyond the abdominal area is crucial to making the correct diagnosis.
