NCT ID:
NCT02463669
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if splenomegaly on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an accurate and user-friendly surrogate to the heterophile antibody test and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) serologies to diagnose acute mononucleosis infection in patients presenting with sore throat to the Emergency Department (ED).
Detailed Description:
The investigators seek to determine whether the presence of splenomegaly on POCUS can accurately diagnose acute infectious mononucleosis in symptomatic ED patients, and determine the feasibility of performing point-of-care ultrasound for splenomegaly by emergency physicians in the emergency department setting.
