KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: When people think of infectious mononucleosis, or "mono," they often think of extreme tiredness as one of the major symptoms associated with this illness. Other typical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis in children are: fever sore throat enlargement of lymph nodes (usually in the neck, armpit, and throat) sore muscles enlarged spleen (the organ - located under the ribcage on the left side - that functions as a blood filter and antibody producer) Loss of appetite and generalized weakness also may be present, especially in adolescents. Nausea, hepatitis , jaundice, severe headache, stiffness, chest pain, and difficulty breathing can occur in some cases. A pink rash can occur all over the body in children who have been treated with ampicillin or amoxicillin. Younger children may have few or none of these symptoms; instead they may have nonspecific symptoms like fever, slight malaise, and loss of appetite. Adolescents are more likely to exhibit the classic symptoms described above. Some may experience extreme fatigue, staying in bed for more than a week because they feel too weak even to walk around the house. Infectious mononucleosis is generally a self-limiting disease, which means it goes away on its own in most cases. Occasionally mono can cause complications (which are decribed below).

5. CHR::YOUR HEALTH Information about infection caused by a virus, often referred to as the 'kissing disease'. http://www.crha-health.ab.ca/hlthconn/items/mono.htm

Infectious Mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis ('mono') is a type of infection caused by a virus. The virus responsible for mononucleosis is from the herpes virus family (either the Epstein-Barr virus or the cytomegalovirus). After a person becomes infected with the virus, the virus begins to multiply in the white blood cells (referred to as 'lymphocytes' or 'mononuclear cells'). The virus causes these white blood cells to change in appearance. These changes can be seen under a microscope if a sample of blood is taken. This and other blood tests can be done to confirm a suspected diagnosis of mononucleosis. Mononucleosis has been referred to as "the kissing disease" because of the common belief that it is passed from one person to another through kissing. It is now apparent, however, that mononucleosis can be spread through any contact with infectious saliva - for example, any mouth to mouth contact, sharing food / cups / utensils or coughing and sneezing. Mononucleosis is most common during the teen years or early adulthood - peak time between 15-17 years of age. The early symptoms of infectious mononucleosis include fever, headache, sore throat, generalized aches and pains, weakness and dizziness. A day or two after becoming infected, a person may notice painful, swollen glands (particularly the glands in the neck). In addition, a person with 'mono' may develop painful, swollen tonsils, jaundice (skin that appears yellow) and/or an enlarged spleen. An enlarged spleen may cause tenderness in the left upper abdomen and can be felt by a doctor during an examination.

National Center for Infectious Diseases Epstein-Barr Virus and Infectious Mononucleosis DISEASE INFORMATION Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. In the United States, as many as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected. Infants become susceptible to EBV as soon as maternal antibody protection (present at birth) disappears. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually cause no symptoms or are indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. In the United States and in other developed countries, many persons are not infected with EBV in their childhood years. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time. Symptoms of infectious mononucleosis are fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. Sometimes, a swollen spleen or liver involvement may develop. Heart problems or involvement of the central nervous system occurs only rarely, and infectious mononucleosis is almost never fatal. There are no known associations between active EBV infection and problems during pregnancy, such as miscarriages or birth defects. Although the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis

Signs of mono include fever, sore throat, headaches, white patches on the back of your throat, swollen glands in your neck, feeling tired and not feeling hungry. Return to top How is mono passed? Mono is not spread as easily as some other viruses, such as the common cold. The mono virus is found in saliva and mucus. It is usually passed from one person to another through kissing, although it may rarely be passed in other ways, such as coughing. Signs of mono usually develop 4 to 7 weeks after you're exposed to the virus. Generally, people only get mono once. It's most common among people 15 to 35 years old. Return to top How is mono diagnosed? Your doctor will probably first ask you some questions about your symptoms and then may do blood tests to confirm the diagnosis. One common test used to diagnose mono is called the Monospot test. Sometimes other blood tests are needed if the results of the Monospot test aren't clear.

More about mononucleosis Sympthoms If your physician has just told you that you have developed infectious mononucleosis, you probably have a sore throat, fever, swollen glands and changes in your blood. You may also have a rash, fatigue, swaeting at night, an enlarged spleen, or an enlarged liver. Other abnormalities may occur in infectious mononucleosis, but these are very rare. About EBV "Mono" is generally caused by a virus known as the Epstein-Barr virus, although it is possible that other factors may contribute to the cause. There is some circumstantial evidence that there are mono carrierspeople who are not sick themselves but who harbor the causative agents and can pass the disease to other people through their saliva. Transmitting the virus This disease may be contracted by kissing a person who carries the virus in the saliva. Other means of transmission have not been proven. How long will you be ill? The illness is unpredictable. Many people never have to be bedridden because their illness is so mild. Some people apparently have mono and recover without knowing they ever had it. They may even be able to go about their usual activities, including athletics (with physician's approval), because the only effects of the disease for them may be some enlarged lymph nodes, blood changes, and perhaps minor sore throat and fatigue. Only in one or two cases out of a hundred will a physician need to confine someone to bed for more than two weeks; with good medical care, most people are up and around within a few days.

Symptoms of mononucleosis Mononucleosis is technically called infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever, but is generally referred to as "mono" for short. It occurs primarily between the ages of 10 and 35 years old. When younger children are infected, it causes little or no illness. Such exposure does, however, create an immunity to the disease. Nearly 90% of Americans have antibodies for mononucleosis by age 40. Mono has an incubation period of 30 to 40 days and the symptoms usually last 7 to 14 days but can last for several weeks. The virus can stay alive within the body for several months. The name mononucleosis comes from the fact that the disease distorts the white blood cells, causing them to only have one nucleus. Only a blood test called the mononucleosis spot test can determine if someone has the disease. SYMPTOMS OF MONONUCLEOSIS bodyOffer(7530) The following symptoms can be present with mono, but most likely not all will be. Sore throat, usually red Enlarged lymph nodes in all parts of the body Fever Nausea Loss of appetite Extreme fatigue Enlarged spleen (2/3 of mono patients) Ulceration of the pharynx (sometimes) Swelling of the upper eyelid Trouble breathing Rapid heart beat Red rash on the body (about 15% of mono patients) Oversensitivity to light CAUSES Mononucleosis is thought to be caused by the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus in 9 out of 10 cases. It is transmitted primarily through oral contact which is why it is often referred to as "the kissing disease." It can also be spread by coughing, sneezing, or sharing drinks.

Infectious Mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is a common acute infectious disease usually found in individuals between the ages of 5 and 30. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. SIGNS Early signs or symptoms of mono can be vague, such as headache, chills, easy fatigability, fever and sore throat. As the disease advances, its manifestations become more obvious; fever; feeling of extreme exhaustion; tender, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin. Symptoms of nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain may appear. There may be yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice). You may have any or all of the above signs or symptoms. DIAGNOSIS Diagnosis is confirmed by a blood test. These tests may not be positive until several weeks after the symptoms arise and, rarely, may remain negative throughout the course of the disease. TREATMENT Since the disease is viral, there is no medication that can cure mono. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, but medical supervision is absolutely necessary. Patients are instructed to: Obtain 10-12 hours of sleep a day.
