The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of infectious mononucleosis and infectious hepatitis A, finding no current diagnosis or evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing that the veteran currently suffers from any residual effects of infectious mononucleosis or infectious hepatitis A, nor has there been a link established between these conditions and his military service.
