Skin Rash During Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Infectious Mononucleosis in Adolescents and Adults: Incidence, Predisposing Factors, and Prognostic Implications

Skin Rash During Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Infectious Mononucleosis in Adolescents and Adults: Incidence, Predisposing Factors, and Prognostic Implications

Skin rash is a potential complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced infectious mononucleosis (IM). Classic studies from the 1960s reported skin rash in most IM patients receiving aminopenicillins, with frequencies of up to 100% for children, 94% for adolescents, and 69% for university students...

Zusammenfassung:Skin rash is a potential complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced infectious mononucleosis (IM). Classic studies from the 1960s reported skin rash in most IM patients receiving aminopenicillins, with frequencies of up to 100% for children, 94% for adolescents, and 69% for university students, compared with 10%-16% for patients not receiving antimicrobials. This frequency of the so-called ampicillin rash or amoxicillin rash is still assumed in reviews, although recent studies reported a lower incidence (
