On 6/16/03 in the evening she received the second dose of Rabipur (batch # 314011, same vaccination procedure). One day after the first vaccination increase of temperature lasting for one day and swelling of cervical lymph nodes lasting for two days occurred. One day after the second vaccination increasing swelling of cervical lymph nodes reoccurred, and the patient suffered from asthenia which increased over time. Tonsillitis was diagnosed a few days later. Infectious mononucleosis was the final diagnosis, and remarkable findings were splenomegaly and a significantly reduced platelet count (up to 18000/ul).

The reporter states that the infectious mononucleosis and its related symptoms were not caused by the vaccination. Seriousness criterion: medically significant (OMIC).
