Low rate of co-infection in complicated infectious mononucleosis.

CONCLUSIONS: We were unable to substantiate a prevalent role for F. necrophorum in patients with IM and acute tonsillitis/PTA. S. aureus may play a role in PTA development in patients IM. The majority of our findings did not support the use of antibiotics in patients with IM, even in this selected group of patients with severe symptoms and a high risk of PTA. FUNDING: This work was funded by the Lundbeck Foundation (Grant number R185-2014-2482). TRIAL REGISTRATION: The Danish Data protection Agency approved the project.
