False positive infectious mononucleosis serology in epilepsy.
Positive serum tests for infectious mononucleosis (IM) unaccompanied by the clinical syndrome or blood changes characteristic of the disease were detected in 39/177 (22%) mentally subnormal patients investigated with three different commercially available IM slide tests. Slide positively was still detectable six months later in 27/35 (77%) positive reactors. Positive IM slide tests were signifi...
متن کاملFalse-positive IgM serology in coccidioidomycosis.
The clinical observation has been made that there might be an unacceptable number of false-positive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test results for IgM among persons suspected of having coccidioidomycosis. Patients with a positive result for IgM by EIA are thought to have a diagnosis of acute coccidioidomycosis. However, this study found that 82% of patients with an IgM-positive and IgG-negative EIA ...
متن کاملA Case of Infectious Mononucleosis with Atypical Serology
We present a case of infectious mononucleosis (IM) in a 14-year-old boy characterized by typical symptoms associated with an unclear serological pattern. At the beginning, an acute EBV infection was excluded because only anti viral capsid antigen (VCA)-IgG antibodies were found without anti VCAIgM. After searching other aetiologies, including the neoplastic ones, serological tests were repeated...
متن کاملHematologic differences in heterophile-positive and heterophile-negative infectious mononucleosis.
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) due to all causes is characterized by atypical lymphocytosis. We sought to compare hematologic parameters of infectious mononucleosis due to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (heterophile antibody (HA) positive) with mononucleosis due to other causes. Mono-Latex Slide Agglutination Test results and complete blood counts (CBC) of 147 patients with mononucleosis wer...
متن کاملFalse Positive Immunoglobulin M Antibody to Cytomegalovirus in Child with Infectious Mononucleosis Caused by Epstein-Barr Virus Infection
A 16-month-old boy was admitted because of cough that had lasted for 10 days. The patient showed severe hepatomegaly incidentally, and dual positivity of Immunoglobulin (Ig) M to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen (VCA) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). On the basis of seroconversion to Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) Ig G positivity and reduced CMV Ig M titer with persistently negative...
