Abstract

Objective: The reported incidence rates for Infectious Mononucleosis (IM) within universities and military settings vary widely from study to study. Several factors may have contributed to the discrepancy in these incidence rates include misdiagnosis, ambiguity in the reported sample populations, and number of students who visited and were diagnosed at their campus's health service centers. The current review examines previously reported literature on the incidence rate in universities and military settings of infectious mononucleosis taking into account these possible confounding factors.

Methods: Articles examined for the literature review were selected by searching several databases within Google Scholar and PubMed.

Results: Variance in the incidence rates could be due to differences in the populations studied, true geographic or epidemiologic variation or inconsistent number of students who visited and were diagnosed at their campus's health service centers.

传染性单核细胞增多症在大学和美国军队的发病率。

目的:各研究报告的传染性单核细胞增多症(IM)在大学和军队的发病率差异很大。可能有几个因素导致了这些发病率的差异，包括误诊，报告样本人群的不明确，以及在校园卫生服务中心就诊并被诊断的学生人数。考虑到这些可能的混杂因素，本综述审查了先前报道的关于大学和军队环境中传染性单核细胞增多症发病率的文献。方法:通过搜索Google Scholar和PubMed中的多个数据库，选择文献综述所检查的文章。结果:发病率的差异可能是由于研究人群的差异，真正的地理或流行病学差异或访问并在校园卫生服务中心诊断的学生人数不一致。
