Who discovered mononucleosis?

A group of German doctors discovered 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.
