the clinical diagnosis can be made from the triad of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy
lasting 1 to 4 weeks. Serology tests show normal to moderately elevated white blood cells and
increased numbers of lymphocytes, >10% atypical lymphocytes, and a positive reaction to a
mono spot test. The antibody response in primary EBV infection appears to be quite rapid.
