Abstract

The article presents the outcomes of observation of 211 children with mononucleosis-like syndrome; clinical and laboratory characteristics depending on its etiology are described. Using a method of mathematical modeling we developed an algorithm for differential diagnosis of herpes and respiratory viral infections combined with presentations of mononucleosis syndrome in children. This algorithm allows a high probability of detecting infectious mononucleosis at the early stages of the disease, which contributes to optimizing the scheme of laboratory examination and treatment of patients.

Keywords
