Its Occurrence in Infectious Mononucleosis

Melvin D. Yahr, MD; Alfred T. Frontera, MD

Arch Neurol. 1975;32(2):132-133.

Abstract
A 13-year-old girl with acute onset of symptoms limited to autonomic dysfunction was found to be suffering from infectious mononucleosis. With symptomatic therapy, improvement gradually occurred over a period of seven months.

The documentation of this case widens the spectrum of disorders to be considered as a cause of so-called acute pandysautonomia or autonomic neuropathy.
