Clinical manifestations have been adequately reviewed.1, 2, 3 The syndrome, sometimes following an upper respiratory infection, is characterized by anterior chest pain of pericardial origin, often with a pleuritic component which may be influenced by position. Moderate enlargement of the cardiac silhouette is common and is usually attributed to a small pericardial effusion. Pleural effusion may also occur. The electrocardiographic changes follow the typical evolutionary pattern of acute pericarditis.Infectious mononucleosis, on the other hand, is a...Bibliography1.
