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.
Articles examined for the literature review were selected by searching several databases within Google Scholar and PubMed.
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.
不同研究报告的大学和军事环境中传染性单核细胞增多症（IM）的发病率差异很大。导致这些发病率差异的因素可能有几个，包括误诊、报告样本人群的不明确性，以及在校园健康服务中心就诊并被诊断的学生人数。本综述考虑了这些可能的混杂因素，审视了先前关于大学和军事环境中传染性单核细胞增多症发病率的文献报道。
通过在谷歌学术和PubMed中的几个数据库进行检索，挑选出用于文献综述的文章。
发病率的差异可能是由于所研究人群的不同、真正的地理或流行病学差异，或者在校园健康服务中心就诊并被诊断的学生人数不一致。
