What is the sensitivity and specificity of the heterophile antibody test in the workup of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infectious mononucleosis (mono)?

Specificity and Sensitivity of Heterophile Antibody Test This test is 96-100% specific and 70-92% sensitive. Since the sensitivity of this test is moderate, therefore it is likely to produce false positive or false negative results
