Abstract : Background: Infectious mononucleosis is usually a self-limiting illness, but can be rarely associated with complications. Case characteristics: A 17-year-old boy with Epstein-Barr virus related infectious mononucleosis and cold antibody-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia with incidentally noted multiple pulmonary nodules. Observations: Nodules regressed over the next few weeks without specific therapy. Message: Pediatricians need to be aware of this rare clinical presentation of infectious mononucleosis so that further invasive testing can be avoided.
