Abstract

A 30-year-old male with infectious mononucleosis by the Epstein-Barr virus who presented severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and type IgG acquired transitory hypogammaglobulinemia as complications during the acute period of the disease is presented. Although the etiopathogenesis of these phenomena is usually associated with an autoimmune basis, the antiplatelet and antileukocyte antibodies were negative. A bibliographic revision of the hematologic alterations of this disease was carried out and it was observed that the combination of the complications described has not been previously referred, thus, the present case may be the first observation with these characteristics.
