Infectious mononucleosis or mononucleosis is a viral illness caused most frequently by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). 

The QuickVue+ Mononucleosis Test detects IgM heterophile antibodies in acute phase infections using serum, plasma or whole blood. The QuickVue+ Mononucleosis Test utilizes an extract of bovine erythrocytes which give a greater sensitivity and specificity than similar extracts prepared from sheep and horse erythrocytes. Clearly distinguishable +/– result, flexible specimen collection options, and a test complete indicator make rapid mono testing easy.
