A member asked:
Is it possible (or common) for a doctor to not feel any swollen lymph nodes when examining a patient with mono?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It is possible not to feel lymphnodes by a doctor during physical examn. History, sore throat with pseudomembranous pharyngitis, enlarged lymphnodes-especially neck ones, palble mild to moderate speen enlargement, fever are other things that may help in addition to the monospot serology test to confirm diagnosis.
