Abstract

Acute infectious mononucleosis is a typical self-limited lymphoproliferative illness characterized by fever, tonsillar pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy in adolescents and young adults. Thickening of the gallbladder wall is rarely observed. We report a case of infectious mononucleosis in which marked thickening of the gallbladder wall was detected by ultrasonography and computed tomography.
