DEFINICIÓN La mononucleosis es la infección vírica aguda causada por el virus de Epstein-Barr, que se caracteriza por fiebre, faringitis, ganglios y aumento del tamaño del bazo. Afecta a niños, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Se suele ver en epidemias pero a veces hay casos aislados. Parece que se contagia vía salivar, por lo que se ha dado en llamarla "enfermedad del beso". En realidad, su contagiosidad es baja. El periodo de incubación (sin síntomas) suele durar entre 7 y 14 días. SIGNOS Y SÍNTOMAS DIAGNÓSTICO Inicialmente se observan síntomas de la enfermedad (fiebre, dolor de cabeza y de garganta) asociados a inflamación de ganglios y, a veces, del bazo. De forma variable en cada persona aparecen náuseas, color amarillo en la piel, dolor de cabeza, ojos llorosos, dificultad para respirar, palpitaciones y, a veces, un exantema en la piel, especialmente si el cuadro se trata con penicilina (aunque el exantema no está relacionado generalmente con alergia a penicilina). Se puede realizar un análisis rápido para comprobar la presencia del virus en la sangre (serología), así como

    Extractions: Mononucleosis, a.k.a the kissing disease Mononucleosis, EBV: signs, precautions and symptoms I should watch for. Epstein- Barr Virus or Mononucleosis has been called the kissing disease for several generations, but can be a very severe and debilitating illness for most that do develop it. This is mostly seen in high school and college students but not limited to them. Once a person is infected, the household has the possibility of getting this disorder also. Causes: bodyOffer(21384) This condition is spread person-to-person, much like cold and flu are. Coming in contact with a person infected, by kissing (saliva), sharing of utensils, toys, pencils, pens etc of the infected person. At rare instances it is passed by blood transfusions. To prevent further spread any body fluid exchange, or sharing of utensils should be prohibited. Signs and Symptoms: Sore throat, fever that may be low grade for up to a week or more, weakness, very tired, sleeping a lot, dizziness, may or may not complain of tenderness in the abdomen. Most people complain they just cannot stay awake long enough to concentrate, physical activity tire them out easily. Symptoms may take four to six weeks after exposure to be present. So, unfortunately many people have infected others without knowing. It is very important to contact the school to let them know your child is ill, as well as each child your child or yourself has come in contact with. If anyone else in your household have the same symptoms all should be checked for EBV.

    Extractions: "Mono" is usually spread by person to person contact. Saliva is the primary, but not exclusive, method of transmitting "mono." Infectious mononucleosis developed its common name of "kissing disease" from this prevalent form of transmission among teenagers. A person with "mono" can also pass the disease by coughing or sneezing, causing small droplets of infected saliva and/or mucous to be suspended in the air which can be inhaled by others. Sharing food or beverages from the same container or utensil can also transfer the virus from one person to another. Research studies have shown that, depending on the method used to detect the virus, anywhere from 20 and 80 percent of persons that have developed mononucleosis continue to secrete the EBV in their saliva for years! It is not clear, however, whether or not these individuals are infectious. It is of note that most persons who are exposed to the EBV do not develop mononucleosis. What are the symptoms of "mono?"

The label is only partly true. Kissing can spread the virus that causes this disease, but more commonly coughing, sneezing, or sharing a glass or cup transmits mononucleosis. It's not highly contagious. Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Mono usually isn't very serious, although the virus remains in your body for life. Some people with mono have minimal symptoms, and the infection goes unrecognized.

    Extractions: Communicable Disease (mono, EBV mononucleosis) What is infectious mononucleosis? /Infectious mononucleosis is a viral disease that affects certain blood cells. 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 virus is spread by person-to-person contact, via saliva (on hands or toys, or by kissing). In rare instances, the virus has been transmitted by blood transfusion.

Drs Godshall and Kirchner discuss the complexities of this common syndrome and offer useful tips on diagnosis and management. Godshall SE, Kirchner JT. Infectious mononucleosis: complexities of a common syndrome Postgrad Med 107(7):175-86 T he syndrome of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy was first described in the medical literature in the 1880s (1), but the term "infectious mononucleosis" did not come into use until the 1920s. In 1932, heterophil antibodies were identified in patients with clinical infectious mononucleosis. In the 1950s, Epstein, Barr and Achong discovered that a herpesvirus was present in all tissue samples of Burkitt's lymphoma from Africa. The development of an indirect immunofluorescence assay for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) a decade later led to epidemiologic studies that showed antibodies to EBV to be present in more than 90% of adults in the United States (1). It was not until the late 1960s, when an unfortunate laboratory technician acquired infectious mononucleosis while working with EBV and serologically converted to EBV-positive status, that the link between EBV and infectious mononucleosis was discovered (2).

    Extractions: THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 4 - APRIL 96 In Brief: A two-step infection by the Epstein-Barr virus accounts for the characteristic features of infectious mononucleosis (IM). New serologic tests for viral antigens exist, but a rapid kit test for heterophil antibody usually suffices to confirm the diagnosis. General management is supportive only. Splenic rupture is very rare, almost never fatal if diagnosed early, and, in most cases, is probably best treated by splenectomy. Athletes tend to recover from IM faster than nonathletes. When the spleen returns to normal size, the athlete can return to contact sports, though it may take 3 to 6 months for an elite athlete to regain top form. I nfectious mononucleosis (IM) can pose headaches for physicians who treat young athletes and other physically active young people. The condition, whose prevalence peaks in about the same age range as athletic activity, is sometimes difficult to diagnose. Further, the risk of splenic rupture may complicate decisions about when athletes may safely return to play, especially in view of the lack of consensus on that issue. IM is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a herpesvirus that, like other herpesviruses (herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, cytomegalovirus), imparts a two-step pathogenesis. First, EBV infects epithelial cells and propagates, causing cytolysis and shedding progeny. The progeny then invade a secondary cell type, where they remain latent and so establish a persistent infection.

    Extractions: John M. MacKnight, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 30 - NO.1 - JANUARY 2002 In Brief: Among the unique clinical properties of infectious mononucleosis are prolonged and often debilitating fatigue, a high incidence of spleen enlargement and fragility, and a resultant risk for spleen rupture. Sports medicine practitioners are charged both with the recognition and management of such clinical features as well as the safe and timely return of the athlete to participation. Safeguarding against splenic injury and attempting to minimize the duration of symptomatic illness are the major factors that guide decisions about disqualification from sport and the eventual resumption of training and competition. I nfectious mononucleosis (IM) is an acute medical condition commonly encountered in the care of active adolescents and young adults. Although IM is self-limited and rarely requires more than symptomatic management, it poses a consistent challenge for the treating physician with regard to safe return of the athlete to competitive sports. The presence of splenomegaly, the risk for spleen rupture, and the time to resolution of active illness are the primary factors governing return-to-play decisions, but a spectrum of other clinical features must also be considered to safeguard the health of the patient. Establishing a management protocol based on current data about the natural history of IM is the key to the timely and safe return to participation.

The most common complaint is a sore throat. Mono is commonly caused by Epstein-Barr virus but can be caused by other viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is diagnosed most frequently among teenagers and young adults. The illness generally goes away without much medical help. However, it may last weeks to months. Treatment mainly is to help symptoms and can nearly always be done at home with plenty of rest.

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 Symptoms similar to those of mononucleosis can be caused by adenovirus and the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii edit Typical symptoms of mononucleosis are: Other possible symptoms include: The symptoms of infectious mononucleosis usually last 1-2 months, but the virus can remain dormant in the B cells indefinitely after symptoms have disappeared. 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. The fact that many with EBV are asymptomatic makes
