“Reed-Sternberg Cells” in Infectious Mononucleosis?

摘要: The morphologic features of infectious mononucleosis are distinctive and in lymphoid tissue include a predominance cytoplasmic or activated lymphocytes (Downey cells) immunoblasts. histologic process is unlike that Hodgkin’s disease, but associated with binucleated multinucleated cells, some which indistinguishable morphologically from diagnostic Reed-Sternberg cells. lack specificity the cell, absence other emphasized. Although prolonged follow-up not yet available eight cases basis this study, cells interpreted as part basic proliferative mononucleosis, rather than an indication incipient disease.
