Monospot: a differential slide test for infectious mononucleosis

J Clin Pathol. 1969 May;22(3):324-5. doi: 10.1136/jcp.22.3.324.

Abstract

Sera collected from 372 patients with suspected infectious mononucleosis were examined for heterophile antibodies by the Paul-Bunnell and the Monospot test. Comparison of results showed the latter to be simple, time saving, and of sufficient specificity for routine use in the general laboratory.
