Interest on the part of the author in the current investigation was first stimulated while he was a member of the medical laboratory staff associated with the U.S. Army 42nd General Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, during the last war. While there numerous cases of infectious mononucleosis were studied, and the Paul-Bunnell reaction was seen as a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis of this disease, especially where the blood picture suggested that of lymphatic leucemia. It was our experience, however, that roughly one serum out of ten from cases diagnosed on a clinical basis as infectious mononucleosis and exhibiting the typical mononuclear blood picture seen in this disease, failed at any time during the course of infection to give a significant Paul-Bunnell test.
