Infectious Mononucleosis: In Vitro Evidence for Limited Lymphoproliferation

Infectious mononucleosis: in vitro evidence for limited lymphoproliferation.

Investigation of ELISA and PCR for Diagnosis of Infectious Mononucleosis

Background and Aims: Infectious mononucleosis (IM)is the clinical manifestation of primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Humans are the only known reservoir of EBV. Regarding the problems in diagnosis of the disease, the purpose of this study was to assess Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a diagnostic tool for this disease.

Glandular Fever: Infectious Mononucleosis

Granulocyte changes in infectious mononucleosis.

Various changes in the granulocytes have been investigated in a large series of patients with infectious mononucleosis. A high proportion of cases regularly show a neutropenia with a shift to the left during the first three to four weeks of the disease; these changes, though transient, may be profound. The band cells present during the acute phase of the disease also show certain alterations in...
