متن کاملQuantitation of a slide test (Monotest) for infectious mononucleosis.
A slide test for infectious mononucleosis using formalinized horse erythrocytes (Monotest(2)) was quantitated and compared with standard differential heterophile (Davidsohn) titres performed on the same specimens. The Monotest titre parallels the standard presumptive heterophile (antisheep cell) titre in the degree of elevation, with a ratio of Monotest to heterophile titre of approximately 1 t...
متن کاملAn evaluation of the Monosticon rapid slide test diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.
A new rapid slide test for the detection of infectious mononucleosis heterophile antibody has been compared with the Paul-Bunnell absorption test. Out of 200 sera, 46 were seropositive for infectious mononucleosis by the Paul-Bunnell test and 43 of these were detected by the Monosticon test; the three Monosticon-negative sera were of low titre. There was no problem with false positive reactions...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus. Infection with EBV is common, worldwide in distribution, and largely subclinical in early childhood. EBV has been established as the causative agent of heterophile-positive mononucleosis, which occurs most frequently in late adolescence or early adulthood. In addition, seroepidemologic data have suggested that EBV also plays an etiolog...
متن کاملInvestigation 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. Mate...
