In 1965, Klemola and Kaariainen described a febrile illness due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) in patients who had not received immunosuppressive therapy or blood transfusions and had not under-gone recent heart surgery (15–18). This illness was associated with fever, splenomegaly, abnormal liver function, negative heterophil antibody tests, and blood smears that were indistinguishable from those of Epstein-Barr-virus-(EBV)-induced infec-tious mononucleosis (IM). The majority of these patients lacked tonsillar pharyngitis and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy and, like patients with EBV–IM, were thought to have self-limited illnesses. More recently, Jordan et al described nine similar cases encountered over a 10-month period and concluded that CMV-mononucleosis was a common disease among young adults and should be considered in all heterophil-negative patients, including those with lymphadenopathy and spleno-megaly (14).Over the past 15 years, we have noted that pa-tients with CMV-mononucleosis often present initial diagnostic problems. They are often hospital-ized with a wide variety of clinical diagnoses, including fever of undetermined etiology, pelvic inflammatory disease, acute leukemia, active viral hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Guil-
