The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of laboratory made reagent of polystyrene latex coated with three preparations of mononucleosis antigen (reagent MZ-I, MZ-II, and MZ-III) for detection of heterophile antibodies in patients sera with clinical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. These studies were carried out on 153 serum samples taken from persons suspected of being infected with EB virus and on 100 healthy controls--blood donors. The results of latex tests were compared to the results of Paul-Bunnell-Davidsohn (PBD) and hemolytic tests. Out of three latex reagents evaluated only one (reagent MZ-I) showed sensitivity equal to PBD and haemolytic tests. The sensitivity reached 91.1%. Agglutination reaction when appeared in latex test at serum dilution 1:5, is considered positive and diagnostically significant result.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007244 Infectious Mononucleosis A common, acute infection usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN). There is an increase in mononuclear white blood cells and other atypical lymphocytes, generalized lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and occasionally hepatomegaly with hepatitis.

D004854 Herpesvirus 4, Human The type species of LYMPHOCRYPTOVIRUS, subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting B-cells in humans. It is thought to be the causative agent of INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS and is strongly associated with oral hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY;), BURKITT LYMPHOMA; and other malignancies.

D000910 Antibodies, Heterophile Antibodies elicited in a different species from which the antigen originated. These antibodies are directed against a wide variety of interspecies-specific antigens, the best known of which are Forssman, Hanganutziu-Deicher (H-D), and Paul-Bunnell (P-B). Incidence of antibodies to these antigens--i.e., the phenomenon of heterophile antibody response--is useful in the serodiagnosis, pathogenesis, and prognosis of infection and latent infectious states as well as in cancer classification.
