Key result
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrating lymphadenopathy led to the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis in a single patient.
Case Report (n=1)
MRI can demonstrate lymphadenopathy that aids in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
MRI-detected lymphadenopathy may prompt infectious mononucleosis consideration; single case leaves open broader diagnostic role.
Infectious mononucleosis is a disease of young adults, typically presenting with malaise, fever, sore throat and cervical adenopathy (Juel-Jensen, 1983). Non-specific respiratory symptoms may also be present. The diagnosis is confirmed by serological tests for the virus. A case is reported in which the presence of lymphadenopathy as demonstrated by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan led to the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.

Goddard et al. (1990) conducted a case report in Infectious mononucleosis (n=1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was evaluated on Diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrating lymphadenopathy led to the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis in a single patient.
