[Diagnostic significance of determining antibodies to antigens of the Epstein-Barr virus in infectious mononucleosis]. 1989

L N Urazova, and V D Podoplekin, and L N Odintsova, and A V Lepekhin

Infectious mononucleosis may be differentiated from clinically similar diseases by the detection of classes M and A antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen. The authors emphasize the high specificity of this test vs. the detection of the Paul-Bunnell-Davidson heterophilic antibodies.

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. Glandular Fever,Mononucleosis, Infectious,Fever, Glandular
D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape. Procapsid,Prohead,Capsids,Procapsids,Proheads
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.
