Differential diagnosis of measles and infectious mononucleosis

Abstract

Differential diagnostic criteria of measles and infectious mononucleosis are presented, which contribute to the early diagnosis of these diseases, timely therapy and anti-epidemic measures.

The aim of the study was to identify differential diagnostic criteria for the clinical diagnosis of measles and infectious mononucleosis for the diagnosis of these diseases at the prehospital stage.

Material and methods. The case histories of patients with measles (120 people) and infectious mononucleosis (110 people) were studied.

Results and discussion. Differential diagnostic criteria of measles and infectious mononucleosis for timely diagnosis of measles at the prehospital stage have been determined.

Conclusion. The retrospective analysis of clinical manifestations of measles and infectious mononucleosis allowed us to identify differential diagnostic criteria that will improve the quality of diagnosis of infectious diseases at the prehospital stage.
