Abstract
The three primary differential diagnoses for a patient with systemic and hematological involvements (fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly), skin rashes, and sore pharynx are infections, connective tissue diseases, and malignancies. In this case report, we discuss possible illusory similarities between these categories that can aid in the diagnostic workup of primary care physicians. Practical Implications. The clinical course of (Infections mononncleosis, MI) patients with and their histopathological data rarely differ; Therefore, early testing for IM caused by EBV is recommended. This article will help physicians face similar cases
