Infectious mononucleosis complicated by necrotizing epiglottitis, dysphagia, and pneumonia.

J Biem1, L Roy, J Halik, V Hoffstein.   

Abstract

Although infectious mononucleosis is usually a benign illness, life-threatening complications may occur. We describe a 17-year-old pregnant girl who developed necrotizing epiglottitis and dysphagia progressing to aspiration pneumonia and respiratory failure. The factors predisposing to this life-threatening complication are discussed.
