Positive mono-spot test in histiocytic medullary reticulosis.

A case of rapidly fatal histiocytic medullary reticulosis in which two positive mono-spot tests were found is presented. In addition, there was a low liter antibody to EB virus. The patient died with a bleeding diathesis terminally. Postmortem examinations confirmed the diagnosis of histiocytic medullary reticulosis.
