In the present study, skin fibroblasts and leukocyte cultures from patients with acute infectious mononucleosis were examined to determine if any in vitro marker chromosomes could be detected. No alterations in chromosomes could be found in fibroblasts either from the region of the typical rash or from other areas of skin. This would tend to suggest but does not necessarily prove that this tissue was not extensively involved in the disease process.
