Abstract
Infectious mononucleosis and the associated ampicillin rash are well documented. The case of a patient with infectious mononucleosis who was treated with levofloxacin and developed a rash similar to the ampicillin rash is reviewed. The exact mechanism is not understood. With closer observation, physicians may be able to recognize more cases with similar phenomena.
