Anxiety and depression after infectious mononucleosis
M Cadie, FJ Nye and P Storey
Thirty-six patients who had had infectious mononucleosis (IM) were followed
up a year later and assessed by the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire and by
interview or (in five cases) by postal questionnaire. The results support
the view that IM leads to depression in a considerable number of cases, but
in this series only women were so affected.
