Infectious mononucleosis in the Philippines : a report of 3 cases / Teresa Luisa I. Gloria-Cruz [and two othrs]
Subject(s): Abstract: Infectious mononucleosis has consistently been reported as being most common in the white race. In the Philippines, it is perceived as uncommon. Thus many physicians in the local setting are not familiar with the details of management of this disease. But this article reports that it may not be as uncommon in Asians, particularly Filipinos, as believed. It describes three patients diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis, and describes their course and management. Lessons learned and recommendations for this "unfamiliar" disease are discussed.
