Because of the fact that a rather careful survey of the literature failed to reveal any case of infectious mononucleosis associated with evidence of diffuse lower motor neurone disease, the following case is herewith reported.CASE REPORTHistory. E. N., a young male of 21 years, was admitted to the hospital on January 11, 1940, with a story that he had been taken ill three weeks previously with headache, weakness and fever as high as 103° F.
