Mononucleosis Mononucleosis Home Mononucleosis is another of those diseases that appear to be hard to cure, but in fact are remarkably easy to cure. Saturation (bowel tolerance) levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) will eliminate symptoms of mono in less than 48 hours. To a public that has been taught to think of mono as a serious six-week disease, this is scientific heresy. It is really too bad that so many people hold that opinion without ever having tried intensive vitamin C therapy. Details of vitamin C dosage and administration, written by medical doctors, will be found at http://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html http://www.doctoryourself.com/ortho_c.html http://www.doctoryourself.com/klenner_table.html http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerpaper.html ...

The mononucleosis symptoms of fatigue and lack of energy can linger for several months. Description Mononucleosis ("mono" or the "kissing disease") is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) found in saliva and mucus. The virus affects a type of white blood cell called the B lymphocyte. While anyone can develop mononucleosis, it occurs primarily in young adults between the ages of 15 and 35 and is especially common in teenagers. The mononucleosis infection rate among college students who have not previously been exposed to EBV has been estimated to be about 15%. The disease typically runs its course in four to six weeks in people with normally functioning immune systems. People with weakened or suppressed immune systems, such as

infectious mononucleosis Infectious Mononucleosis: How to spot the warning signs of "Mysterious Mono", and what to do about it. Seven out of the western world's top 10 runners every decade will contract it. The disease will strike them when they are at the peak of fitness, and it often lingers on for months or even years, disappearing and reappearing like a weed. It is glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis). What is it? It is, in fact, possibly a group of diseases, of which the cause is still unknown but is presumed to be a virus. As its common name implies, it is a fever which particularly affects the glands (Iymph nodes) - they swell under the armpits and in the groin, as well as the throat. Accompanying this is considerable exhaustion. Why are runners particularly prone to this infection? To answer this we must refer to Hans Selye's stress theory. We possess a finite amount of anti-stress factors. We use about a third of them to deal with our work, another third goes in accommodating our training, and possibly 10 per cent in dealing with the other vicissitude of life. This leaves us with a reserve of anti-stress factors to deal with unwelcome pressures. We can hold on for a while even when all the anti-stress factors are being utilised, such as with an increase in the training load; the anti-stress brigade toughens up its stance by getting used to the heavier load, but as this happens anti-stress factors to ward off infection become weakened and that is when the fever strikes.

It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpes virus family. Most cases occur sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Who gets infectious mononucleosis? While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus sometime in their lives, very few go on to develop the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed in early childhood where they are unlikely to develop noticeable symptoms. In developed countries such as the United States, the age of first exposure may be delayed to older childhood and young adult age when symptoms are more likely to result. For this reason, it is recognized more often in high school and college students. How is infectious mononucleosis spread?

The Epstein-Barr virus is typically transmitted through saliva , e.g. through intimate kissing or sharing drinks. The virus infects B cells , and most commonly affects those between 15 and 40 years old. There is an accompanying lymphocytosis , and there are abnormal T cells (T-lymphocytes) visible on a blood film.

Many people exposed to the Epstein-Barr Virus do not show symptoms of the disease, but carry the virus, and can transmit it to others. About 6% of people who have had this disease will relapse.

Could he have mononucleosis? The advantage (if there is one) to your child's getting mono when young is that the symptoms will probably be a lot less severe than if he caught it at an older age. Mononucleosis manifests itself in younger children like a bad cold and will usually run its course in seven to ten days. Your toddler will have a sore throat, swollen glands in front of and behind his ears, and possibly swollen glands in the armpit and groin (where his lymph glands are). He may have a moderate fever for three to five days or longer. How will my doctor diagnose and treat mono? Since the most common complaint during mononucleosis is a sore throat, your doctor will probably do a throat culture to make sure that your child doesn't have strep . During an office exam, she may also feel your child's neck, armpits, and groin to check for swollen glands. If your doctor suspects mono, she will confirm the diagnosis with a blood test.

It has its peak incidence in adolescents between the ages of 15 and 17, but it commonly affects a much broader range of ages, including preschool and school-age children, although it is rare in children under age two. In adolescents, the incubation period after exposure is estimated as four to seven weeks; the period in younger children is unknown. WHAT CAUSES INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS? It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which multiplies in the lymphocytes, white blood cells that normally play a key role in the immune system's defenses. The virus is transmitted through exchange of saliva. By adulthood, most people have been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, but for unknown reasons, only a small percentage develop mononucleosis. Epstein-Barr virus is a type of herpes virus; other herpes viruses are responsible for chicken pox cold sores and genital herpes.

It typically infects teenagers and young adults, but also occurs in younger children, who have a much milder illness that is often not recognized as mono. Symptoms of mono consist of a high fever, sore throat, swollen tonsils with pus on them, fatigue, an enlarged spleen, and swollen glands that may be tender. Symptoms usually last for only one to two weeks, although the fatigue can last much longer. Mono can be diagnosed by a 'monospot' blood test and by doing a blood count which will show atypical lymphocytes. However these tests may not be positive if done too early in the course of the infection, so most doctors will wait at least a week before doing these blood tests. It is also possible to test for antibodies in blood against the Ebstein Barr virus to see if there has been a recent or past infection.
