He visited 2 pediatric hospitals and the results are as follows. 1ª hospital Blood routine test: WBC: 8.7 X10°/L, N: 21%, RBC: 3.36X10/L, BPC: 75x 10°/L, Hb: 109g/L; peripheral blood smear shows: atypical cells 29%. Suspected "infectious mononucleosis" and EBV infection, thus intravenous ganciclovir was given. 2nd hospital No anaemic face, temperature 37.5°C. No superficial lymph nodes were obviously enlarged. Skin rash (-). The liver and spleen was palpable 1.0cm below rib with a soft texture, tenderness (-) and rebounds tenderness (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness.
