Extractions: HEEAT Mononucleosis Mononucleosis is not a bad word, and it's not necessarily a bad diagnosis to receive. Infectious mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein Barr virus and can produce a spectrum of clinical symptoms. Mono is common in the 16-24-year-old age range, especially in colleges or the military where close living quarters are common. Eighty percent of people who have infectious mono will have a viral-like syndrome, frequently with sore throat, fever, headache, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. In the belief that they have a cold, many of these people will not seek medical attention and, thus, will have mono that goes undiagnosed. In fact, the vast majority of people over 40 years old test positive (using a special test) for having had mono sometime in their life; many of these people never knew they were infected. Mono gets a bad rap because of the complications that 20 percent of people may experience. Complications may include such severe swollen glands in the neck that breathing or eating is compromised. Mono can also affect the lining around the brain, producing an encephalitis-like picture. Mono can inflame the liver, producing a hepatitis. The spleen can become enlarged. Because of the tight capsule around the spleen, enlargement can produce pain and the danger of rupturing, even with minor trauma. (If you had an enlarged spleen with your mono infection you would be asked to refrain from contact sports.) Mono has also been associated with fatigue varying from a few weeks to a few months. Mono gets its bad reputation because people with severe complications of mono get more notoriety.

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed What is mononucleosis? How did I catch it? How contagious is it? What do I need to do? Mono (infectious mononucleosis) is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV is usually spread through saliva, hence its nickname, the "kissing disease." You can however get it through other close contact. People with mono rarely give the disease to roommates or friends with whom they have only casual contact. In the majority of cases, people with mono can't recall contact with another infected person. EBV has a long incubation period; it will be 4-8 weeks after being infected before symptoms develop. The most common symptoms of mono include sore throat, swollen glands, and fatigue. You also may experience fever, muscle aches, or a skin rash. The spleen is often enlarged and the liver may be affected. About 8% of mono patients will also get strep throat, so a throat culture should be done and antibiotics used if strep is found. If you suspect you have mono, you should be evaluated by a physician. Your blood may be tested for antibodies to mono (the "monospot" test). It is often necessary to wait until you've been ill for about five days before doing this test.

Most young children with mono do not show symptoms. Infants may have general symptoms, such as fever or loss of appetite. They may appear more tired than usual. Older children and adults may have a fever, feel tired, or have swollen neck glands. Mono can cause a sore throat and sore muscles. Mono can make the spleen larger (an organ on the left side of the body under the ribs). If your child has an enlarged spleen, she may feel sharp pain in the upper left of her stomach. Loss of appetite and weakness is common in adolescents.

http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/hw168622.asp

Extractions: Topic Overview Infectious mononucleosis (commonly called mono) is a viral illness usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) . Mono most commonly develops in young adults between the ages of 15 and 24. The virus can be spread through contact with saliva, mucus (from the nose and throat), and sometimes tears. Rarely, EBV is spread through blood transfusions. Because the virus can be spread through saliva, mono is sometimes called the kissing disease. Once you have been infected with EBV, your body may periodically shed (or give off) the virus throughout your lifetime, possibly spreading the virus to others. This can occur despite the fact that you do not have symptoms after your initial mono infection; the virus may still be found in your saliva up to 18 months after you have recovered from your symptoms.

Extractions: What is infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis (also called glandular fever ) is a viral disease that affects certain blood cells. The term "mononucleosis" refers to the increase of mononuclear cells (white blood cells). It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpes virus family. Most cases of mononucleosis (called mono for short) occur sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Symptoms? Symptoms of mononucleosis are: fatigue, fever , sore throat, enlargement of lymph nodes (usually in the neck, the arm pit, and throat), and an enlarged spleen (the organ that functions as a blood "filter" and antibody producer), nausea, hepatitis , jaundice, headache, stiffness, chest pain and difficulty breathing also may be reported. Adolescents usually report loss of appetite, weakness, and sore muscles. Incubation Period? The incubation period for adults is between 10 and 60 days. The incubation period for children and adolescents is between 7 and 4 days.

Extractions: Resources Infectious mononucleosis is a contagious illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus that can affect the liver, lymph nodes, and oral cavity. While mononucleosis is not usually a serious disease, its primary symptoms of fatigue and lack of energy can linger for several months. Infectious mononucleosis, frequently called "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 producing characteristic atypical lymphocytes that may be useful in the diagnosis of the disease. While anyone, even young children, can develop mononucleosis, it occurs most often 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%. In younger children, the illness may not be recognized. 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

Extractions: What is Mononucleosis? Mononucleosis, sometimes called "mono" is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family. Even though this virus is one of several herpes viruses, it has nothing to do with cold sores or genital herpes. (Although it may trigger an outbreak of either if you have those). It's classified as a herpes virus because once you've been infected, the virus stays in your body the rest of your life and may reappear in your saliva from time to time. However, you probably won't get the symptoms of mono again from this virus. Mononucleosis is a respiratory virus that affects the blood cells and the salivary glands (the glands responsible for producing saliva). Even though anyone can get mononucleosis, most people who get the illness are between the ages of 15 and 25. Mono can keep you out of commission for weeks or even months. How Do People Get Mono?

Extractions: Infectious Mononucleosis What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Infectious mononucleosis, commonly called mononucleosis or "mono," is an illness caused by a viral infection, most often the Epstein-Barr virus. Mononucleosis has been nicknamed the "kissing disease" because Epstein-Barr virus commonly is transmitted in saliva during kissing. However, sneezes and coughs also can transmit the virus occasionally. In about 15 percent of cases, mononucleosis is caused by cytomegalovirus and human herpes virus-6, viruses that, like Epstein-Barr virus, are members of the herpes family. Other viruses such as acute HIV infection, hepatitis viruses and even the parasitic infection toxoplasmosis can mimic infectious mononucleosis.

It frequently causes a prolonged period of tiredness and debility. Glandular fever often starts with a few days of mild symptoms, including headache, and tiredness. The major symptoms then develop, and may last seven to twenty one days. They vary in how badly they affect you, but usually include a fever, sore throat, and tiredness, along with aches and pains all over the body. This phase of the illness may last a few days to a few weeks. It is accompanied by tender enlargement of the glands (the lymph glands or lymph nodes) which are around the body to help defend against infection. A small number of people (about one in ten) develop a faint red rash on the trunk and limbs. Sometimes the liver may become inflamed (hepatitis), even to the extent of making you go yellow (jaundiced). After the worst of the initial symptoms have passed, most people continue to feel tired all the time, and easily exhausted. This is frequently accompanied by

Extractions: More about the Epstein-Barr virus: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may cause infectious mononucleosis in adolescents and young adults. However, even after the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis have disappeared, the EBV will remain dormant in the throat and blood cells during that persons lifetime. The virus can reactivate periodically, however, usually without symptoms. Infectious Mononucleosis What is infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis is either caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus, both of whom are members of the herpes virus family. Consider the following statistics: Approximately 95 percent of adults in the US between the ages of 35 and 40 have been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a very common virus. When children are infected with the virus, they usually do not experience any noticeable symptoms. However, uninfected adolescents and young adults who come in contact with the virus may develop infectious mononucleosis in nearly 50 percent of exposures.
