A case of agranulocytosis, quickly and spontaneously reversible, occurring in the fourth week of infectious mononucleosis in a 7-year old girl, is reported. The interest of the case lies in the importance of the symptomatology (jaundice, eruption, fever for 40 days), the serological detection of the role of the Epstein-Barr virus and, in particular, in the presence of leukoagglutinins judged to be responsible for the agranulocytosis.
