INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS Who gets Mononucleosis? Over the course of a lifetime, almost everyone is exposed to Epstein-Barr virus; but many people never develop any of the typical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. They do, nonetheless, acquire immunity and protection; and, in general, people only get mononucleosis once. How is it spread? The virus is spread from person to person via saliva (on hands, or by kissing, coughing, or sneezing). It has rarely been transmitted via blood transfusion. What are the signs/symptoms? Symptoms of mononucleosis in college age persons consist of fever, sore throat, swollen glands in the neck, and fatigue. Some also experience headaches, decreased appetite, abdominal pains, and rash. For some, the symptoms are few and mild; others may be so ill that they are unable to eat or drink or look after themselves. Most people are somewhere in between and may need to take time off from work or classes. How long does it take to develop symptoms of mononucleosis?

Mononucleosis Cowell Home Health Education Program Health Topics ... Index Mononucleosis What it is Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). The symptoms may include: sore throat, fatigue, malaise, swollen lymph nodes (in the front and the back of the neck, and elsewhere), changes in the blood count, spleen and/or liver enlargement, and possibly a faint rash which may occur in up to 10% of the patients. The acute course of infectious mononucleosis is typically 2-4 weeks, followed by complete recovery, usually 4 weeks after the onset of illness. At the beginning of the illness following a few days of fever, most people will feel tired for one to four weeks. How do You get it? The Epstein-Barr Virus is widespread in the general population and may be seen at any age, but usually occurs between the ages of 10 and 35. There is no seasonality to this infection. Spread of EBV occurs through respiratory droplets, but spreading of the virus occurs in asymptomatic persons with previous infection as well as in patients with current infection; thus avoidance of exposure to actively ill people is ineffective in prevention. There is no specific isolation requirement. Close person-to-person contact is required for transmission (which is why it is called the "kissing disease"). Endemic infection in group settings such as college dormitories is common. Regular hand washing and utensil and glassware cleaning can help prevent the spread of the virus. The incubation period after exposure is believed to be about 30-50 days. The period of communicability may be as long as one year.

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background virus (EBV) infection has been associated with an increased risk of Hodgkin's lymphoma in young adults. Whether the association is causal remains unclear. Methods We compared the incidence rates of Hodgkin's lymphoma in two population-based Danish cohorts of patients who were tested for infectious mononucleosis: 17,045 with serologic evidence of having had acute EBV infection, and 24,614 with no such evidence. We combined the cohort of patients who had serologically verified infectious mononucleosis with a cohort of 21,510 Swedish patients

Stat: Generally, people only get mono once. It's most common among people 15 to 35 years old. What is it exactly? Mononucleosis (often called "mono") is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). About how many people have it? There is a big difference between having mono and having EBV. A person can have EBV and not have any symptoms of mono, but you must have EBV to have mono. About half of all people had EBV before they were 5, but at that young age, it usually doesn't cause any symptoms. By age 40, 85 to 90 percent of Americans have had EBV. How is it spread? EBV is usually transmitted through saliva and mucus. So it can be transmitted by kissing, sharing drinking glasses or utensils, or being coughed on by someone who has an active virus. People have an active virus if they were recently infected or at random times for the rest of their lives.

Return to Top Symptoms to look for Fever Sore throat Enlarged lymph nodes Return to Top Treatment Do not give your child ampicillin during his/her illness. It could cause a drug rash. If your child has a fever, make sure that he/she drinks an extra 10-12 cups (2.5-3 quarts) of liquid each day while his/her temperature is above normal. Your child should be on bed rest when his/her temperature is above normal. After the fever goes away, your child may return to normal activity.

Bureau of Communicable Diseases Infectious Mononucleosis (mono, EBV mononucleosis) What is infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis is a viral disease that affects certain types of white blood cells. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpes virus family. Most cases occur sporadically and outbreaks are rare. Infectious mononucleosis is not reportable in New York City. Who gets infectious mononucleosis? While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lives, very few go on to develop the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed in early childhood when they are less likely to develop symptoms. In developed countries, such as the United States, persons are usually not exposed until older childhood or young adulthood when symptoms are more likely to result. For this reason, infectious mononucleosis is seen more often in high school and college students in the United States. How is infectious mononucleosis spread?

Infectious mononucleosis is an acute viral infection that primarily affects lymph tissue. It is characterized by fever, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes, and may include headache, fatigue, and/or puffy eyelids. How is Mono Spread? Infectious mononucleosis is spread through the saliva (oropharyngeal route). To prevent spread of the virus it is important that you take the following precautions: Don't kiss or share oral secretions. Don't share eating or drinking utensils/dishes. Wash eating and drinking utensils/dishes in hot soapy water. Tell others in close contact with you to wash their hands after being around you. Things You Need to Know If you have a fever, increase your liquid intake to 10 to 12 cups (2 ½ to 3 quarts) per day while fever is present.

Occurs by intimate contact and once person is exposed, EBV remains in host for life. Adults usually contact the virus through direct salivary transfer. Young adults present with fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, and tonsillitis. Tonsillar enlargement sometimes has diffuse exudate and secondary tonsillar abscesses. Prominent lymphadenopathy is noted in more than 90% of the cases and typically presents as enlarged, symmetric and tender nodes in the posterior and anterior cervical chains. Adults over 40 present with fever and pharyngitis with less than 30% demonstrating lymphadenopathy. Back Contents Next

Zinc Acetate Lozenges and Mononucleosis Continuous use of zinc acetate lozenges while awake as treatment for severe tonsillitis caused by Epstein Barr virus as mononucleosis in a 17-year old girl produced rapid (a) reduction in oral and nasopharyngeal inflammation; (b) elimination of bilateral shaggy gray tonsillar exudate; (c) elimination of fever; (d) improvement in patient's feeling of well-being; (e) elimination of supraorbital edema; (f) elimination of malaise, and fatigue; (g) return to normal vocalization; (h) elimination of anorexia; and (i) atrophy of extremely swollen tonsils to less than normal size. All benefits occurred within 1 to 3 days of treatment initiation. After the first lozenge, the patient resolutely and continuously used zinc acetate lozenge treatment, refusing codeine, ibuprofen, and lidocaine. Corticosteriods for severe airway obstruction were not given in preference to the beneficial effects reported from zinc acetate lozenges. Antibiotic for concurrent strep throat was continued for the normal course. Splenomegaly, lymphadenophy, hepatomegaly and other complications did not occur. No side effects to treatment nor recurrence of diseases occurred. The patient was able to return to school on the fourth day after diagnosis (which occurred on the 4th day of illness) and was sufficiently well to resume athletic activities on the fourteenth day after diagnosis. This anecdote should stimulate others to investigate the antiviral properties of Zn ion from zinc acetate solutions (1 to 5mmol) against Epstein Barr virus and to conduct clinical trials of the effects of zinc acetate lozenges in treatment of mononucleosis.
