Hepatitis is a well-recognised complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection that usually resolves spontaneously. Jaundice occasionally results from the unusual complication of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia rather than hepatitis. Two adult patients are described with infectious mononucleosis-related hepatitis who also developed significant haemolysis, a situation that could have led to diagnostic delay and a deleterious outcome. Haemolysis should be considered in all patients who become jaundiced after infectious mononucleosis. The management of this potentially fatal complication is discussed.
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related lymphoma is a serious opportunistic complication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection which is predicted to increase in frequency over the next few years. The presence of this malignant process in HIV-related individuals, who are already immunocompromised, constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality, determining both therapy and prognosis.
