  3. Diagnosis: Acute Mononucleosis Syndrome
    1. Step 1: Monospot Test Positive
      1. Diagnose Epstein-Barr Virus
    2. Step 2: Complete Blood Count with differential
      1. Evaluate for >10% Atypical lymphocytes
    3. Step 3a: Obtain HIV Test if <10% Atypical lymphocyte
      1. See Acute Retroviral Syndrome for testing
    4. Step 3b: Obtain EBV IgM if >10% Atypical lymphocytes
      1. EBV IgM Positive: Diagnose Epstein-Barr Virus
      2. EBV IgM Negative: Go to Step 4
    5. Step 4: Obtain CMV IgM
      1. CMV IgM Positive: Diagnose CMV-Induced Mononucleosis
      2. CMV IgM Negative: Evaluate for differential diagnosis
        1. Toxoplasmosis
        2. Acute Viral Hepatitis
        3. Human Herpesvirus 6
