Q

A one-week history of fever, exudative pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenopathy, and -1- in an adolescent raise suspicion for mononucleosis. The most -2- to order would be a -3-. This is a nonspecific test and is positive in 85% of adolescents with mononucleosis within the -4- of the illness but is often negative in children under the age of -5-.

A
  1. hepatosplenomegaly
  2. appropriate laboratory test
  3. heterophile antibody test (monospot)
  4. first two weeks
  5. 4 years
101
Q

Mono
A -1- does not provide any specific diagnostic information. The -2- tests for recent strep infection, but -3- is a differentiating symptom from strep. CMV is a good differential diagnosis as it can cause -4-, but the presence of -3- & -5- are more specific for mono.

A
  1. complete blood count
  2. antistreptolysin O titer
  3. (hepato-)splenomegaly
  4. fatigue and adenopathy
  5. pharyngitis
102

A
  1. Epstein-Barr titers
  2. preliminary mono testing
