Samples from the fur covering the palatine tonsils of 10 patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) were subjected to fluorescence microscopy after staining with acridine orange. Standard aerobic cultures from swabs were set up simultaneously. The fur constituted a mass of variously sized cocci and rods intermingled with granulocytes and cellular detritus. Five patients had growth of beta-haemolytic Streptococci on the tonsils. Bacteria in abundance were found attached to the tonsillar epithelial cells. The B-lymphotrophic Epstein-Barr virus, responsible for the IM infection, causes an immense increase in the bacterial colonization of the tonsillar surfaces, probably due to an increased attachment of bacteria to the tonsillar epithelial cells.
对10例传染性单核细胞增多症（IM）患者腭扁桃体表面覆盖的绒毛样本用吖啶橙染色后进行荧光显微镜检查。同时对拭子进行标准需氧培养。绒毛由大小各异的球菌和杆菌组成，与粒细胞和细胞碎屑混合在一起。5例患者扁桃体上有β-溶血性链球菌生长。发现大量细菌附着在扁桃体上皮细胞上。导致IM感染的嗜B淋巴细胞的爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒，可能由于细菌与扁桃体上皮细胞的附着增加，使得扁桃体表面的细菌定植大幅增加。
