Abstract

The article presents a description of a clinical case of infectious mononucleosis with pronounced exanthema in an 18-year-old female patient. The patient's clinical status is analyzed, and a detailed differential diagnosis is conducted with syndrome-similar diseases. The most significant clinical symptoms present in the typical picture of infectious mononucleosis are highlighted. The article discusses the significance of determining antibody avidity for diagnosing the stage of the infectious process. Particular attention is paid to the importance of determining this parameter in pregnant women, where diagnostic accuracy and assessment of disease severity are crucial for making decisions about patient management.
