Abstract
In an attempt to transmit infectious mononucleosis to human beings, 16 subjects of college age or younger were inoculated with serum, throat washings, or stool prepns. from patients with the disease. Unequivocal evidence of successful transmission was not obtained but a few subjects showed suggestive clinical or hematological signs of the disease. It is suggested that infectious mononucleosis may have a low contagiousness under either natural or exptl. circumstances.Keywords
