ABSTRACT Gaspar Vianna is considered one of the great names in Medicine and Science in Brazil. Yet, little prominence has been given to his studies in Neuropathology. He was the first to describe, in 1911, the histopathology and pathogenesis of chagasic encephalitis in the acute phase of Chagas disease, as well as the intracellular life cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi. Over 100 years have elapsed and Gaspar Vianna's pioneering study remains an example of a meticulous and still up-to-date description of central nervous system involvement in the acute phase of Chagas disease.

Four cases of infectious mononucleosis with central nervous system involvement are presented. The literature pertaining to the neurologic complications in infectious mononucleosis is briefly reviewed. Recovery is usually relatively prompt and complete but permanent residual manifestations may occur. Careful peripheral blood studies and tests for the heterophil agglutinins are essential in the etiologic diagnosis of the obscure diseases of the nervous system.
