    BackgroundInfectious mononucleosis ("kissing disease") is an infection caused by Epstein-Barr-Virus (EBV, human herpes virus 4).MethodsWe present the case of an 18-year old female patient with dacryoadenitis and sub-febrile temperatures followed by a distinct feeling of sickness.ResultsLaboratory results revealed a Leukocytosis of 16.3 G/I with explicit elevation of hepatic parameters. The ultrasound scan of the orbital region showed a bilateral, echo-reduced, compressible lesion in the area of the lachrymal gland. The abdomen-ultrasound scan revealed a splenomegaly and the size of the liver was within normal limits. Serology was positive for EBV-VCA-IgG, EBV-EA-IgG and EBV-VCA-IgM.ConclusionsA dacryoadenitis can be the presenting symptom of an infectious mononucleosis.
