Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono) Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Learn when to suspect infectious mononucleosis, how to confirm it with diagnostic tests, and how to tell it apart from strep throat and more dangerous conditions like lymphoma. In this video, you will also learn to interpret heterophile antibody tests and specific serologic tests for EBV (Epstein-Barr virus), the cause of infectious mononucleosis. You will also learn about potential complications, recovery, and when it's safe for patients with mono to return to school, work, and sports.

If you want to learn how to recognize life-threatening infections like sepsis and CNS infections as early as possible, I highly recommend you take my free online course!
