When was mononcleusis discovered?
It was discovered in the 1800's but a group of German doctors. Mononucleosis was first named 'glandular fever ' by a group of German doctors in the 1880s. They named it 'glandular fever ' because you get swollen glands and lymph nodes (part of your immune system) when you suffer from it. In 1889 Dr. E. Pfeiffer was said to have written the first most comprehensive discussion and description of the virus. But it was not until 1920 that glandular fever was given the name 'infectious mononucleosis ' by Thomas P. Sprunt and Frank A. Evans. So when you ask 'who discovered mononucleosis ? ', it's worth noting that although the virus was apparently first described in the 1880s, the term 'infectious mononucleosis ' wasn't coined until 1920.

How was mononucleosis discovered?
The discovery of infectious mononucleosis was a process. In 1885, Russian pediatrician Nil Filatov reported an infectious process that exhibited symptoms that correspond to infectious mononucleosis that he called "idiopathic debitis." In 1889, German balneologist and pediatrician, Emil Pfeiffer, independently reported similar cases that tended to cluster in families that he called Drusenfieber or "glandular fever." The term "infectious mononucleosis" was used in 1920 by Thomas Peck Sprunt and Frank Alexander Evans. The causative link was uncovered in 1967 by Werner and Gertrude Henle.
