      1. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
      2. Lymphoma
      3. Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis
  3. Diagnosis: Acute Mononucleosis Syndrome
    1. Step 1: Monospot Test Positive
      1. Diagnose Epstein-Barr Virus
    2. Step 2: Complete Blood Count with differential
      1. Evaluate for >10% Atypical lymphocytes
      2. Lymphocytosis >50% and Atypical lymphocytes >10% may be sufficient alone to diagnose Mononucleosis without further testing
        1. Test Sensitivity: 75%
        2. Test Specificity: 92%
    3. Step 3a: Obtain HIV Test if <10% Atypical lymphocyte
      1. See Acute Retroviral Syndrome for testing
    4. Step 3b: Obtain EBV IgM if >10% Atypical lymphocytes
      1. EBV IgM Positive: Diagnose Epstein-Barr Virus
      2. EBV IgM Negative: Go to Step 4
    5. Step 4: Obtain CMV IgM
      1. CMV IgM Positive: Diagnose CMV-Induced Mononucleosis
      2. CMV IgM Negative: Evaluate for differential diagnosis
        1. Toxoplasmosis
        2. Acute Viral Hepatitis
        3. Human Herpesvirus 6
