Recurrent myocarditis of unknown etiology.

A 42-year-old man presented with dyspnea and common cold-like symptoms. His electrocardiogram showed complete atrioventricular block and chest radiography revealed cardiomegaly and pulmonary congestion. He had a history of three recurrences of active myocarditis proven by endomyocardial biopsy over a 14-year period. Viral studies showed no evidence of recent infection, and no medications had been taken prior to this episode. This myocarditis was suggested as an unknown etiology.

[Peritonsillar abscess associated with infectious mononucleosis: retrospective study of three cases].

Three cases with infectious mononuculeosis associated with peritonsillar abscess were reviewed. The initial diagnoses in these three cases were tonsillitis or peritonsillitis. However, infectious mononucleosis was suspected because of an elevation in aminotransferases and was later confirmed by elevations in the titers of antibodies for Epstein-Barr virus. Peritonsillar abscesses developed and surgical drainage was performed in all three cases. The present study suggests a higher incidence of peritonsillar abscess in patients with infectious mononucleosis than previously expected.
