An unusual case of infectious mononucleosis complicated by both peritonsillar abscess and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is reported. The patient was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus infection early in the disease course by her primary care doctor. She subsequently developed a peritonsillar abscess requiring hospitalisation. Recovery was complicated by the development of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. However, resolution was achieved over the course of approximately 1 year, via conservative measures including graded exercise therapy, without resorting to pharmacotherapy.
报告了一例罕见的传染性单核细胞增多症病例,该病例并发扁桃体周围脓肿和体位性直立性心动过速综合征。患者在病程早期被其初级保健医生诊断为感染了爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒。随后她患上了需要住院治疗的扁桃体周围脓肿。康复过程因体位性直立性心动过速综合征的出现而变得复杂。然而,通过包括分级运动疗法在内的保守措施,在大约1年的时间里病情得到缓解,未采用药物治疗。
