This is not surprising, since the cause of mononucleosis appears to stimulate proliferation of lymphocytes, and the mesenchymal cells of the liver are potential precursors of lymphocytes. The realization that acute hepatitis is regularly present may be followed by the...Bibliography1. De MarshAlt QH(a) : Hepatitis without jaundice in infectious mononucleosis, Arch. Int.
