As an independent infectious disease, infectious mononucleosis was first described by N.F. Filatov in 1885 under the name "idiopathic inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes". In 1889, E. Pfeiffer described the clinical picture of the same disease under the name "glandular fever".
Agranulocytosis (aleukia) is a blood disease characterized by a complete or almost complete absence of granulocytes (granular leukocytes) in the blood. A distinction is made between myelotoxic and immune agranulocytosis.
Acute leukemia is characterized by an increase in the number of blast, or leukemic, “young” cells in the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, liver and other internal organs.
Alimentary toxic aleukia is a mycotoxicosis that occurs when eating products made from grain that has overwintered in the field (millet, buckwheat, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice).
Phlegmon of the perimygdalitis space in the lingual tonsil usually develops within 6-8 days, and against the background of antibiotic therapy, the maturation of the abscess can be delayed for up to 2 weeks, after which it opens on its own, and all signs of perimygdalitis of the lingual tonsil disappear within 4-5 days.
Diffuse phlegmon of the pharynx (Senator's disease) is a disease that occurs extremely rarely. It is characterized by a sudden, violent onset with pronounced dysphagia, diffuse hyperemia, edema, and inflammatory infiltrate of all the walls of the pharynx.
Rubella in the initial stages of the disease resembles scarlet fever and measles, and in mild forms of these diseases a false diagnosis is possible; secondly, with rubella, along with pathological changes in the mucous membranes of the pharynx and throat, other complications related to the ENT organs may also arise.
Acute simple adenoiditis is an otolaryngological disease characterized by inflammation of the adenoids, most often occurring in the first years of life.
Phlegmonous tonsillitis, or acute paratonsillitis (according to B.S. Preobrazhensky), is an acute purulent inflammation of the peritonsillar tissue, occurring primarily or secondarily, as a complication 1-3 days after follicular or lacunar tonsillitis.
Interopharyngeal (visceral) phlegmon, or lateropharyngeal cellulophlegmon, occurs much less frequently than the above-described types of adenophlegmon of the neck.
