The Board finds that the Veteran does not have residuals of mononucleosis that are attributable to active service.
The deciding factor: VA examiners concluded that the Veteran's claimed residuals of mononucleosis, including depression and sensory neuropathy, were less likely than not related to the Veteran's infectious mononucleosis treated in service.
