General information

This Mononucleosis Rapid Test is an immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of heterophile antibodies to Infectious Mononucleosis in whole blood, serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of Infectious Mononucleosis. Infectious Mononucleosis (MI) is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a member of the herpesvirus family.

Symptoms of MI are fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. In very rare cases, heart or central nervous system problems can occur. Diagnosis of MI is made based on the presence of heterophile antibodies. Infectious Mononucleosis heterophile antibodies belong to the IgM class. They are present in 80-90% of acute MI cases and can be identified in 60-70% of patients during the first weeks of clinical illness.

The Mononucleosis Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a simple test that uses bovine erythrocyte extract to qualitatively and selectively determine Infectious Mononucleosis heterophile antibodies in whole blood, serum or plasma in minutes. Infectious Mononucleosis (MI) is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a member of the herpesvirus family. Symptoms of MI are fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. In very rare cases, heart or central nervous system problems can occur.
