Infectious mononucleosis (EM) is a disease characterized by irradiation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The clinical manifestation is characterized by tonsillopharyngitis, lym-phadenopathy and atypical lymphocytosis. We describe a young patient developing hemolytic anemia during follow-up in our clinic due to tonsillopharyngitis secondary to EBV and general condition disorder.
