What about sports and exercise? What is mononucleosis? Mononucleosis (often called "mono") is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. 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. 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. 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.

2. Epstein-Barr Virus EpsteinBarr Virus and Infectious mononucleosis. DISEASE INFORMATION http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/ebv.htm

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

4. Your Health Infectious Mononucleosis Information about infection caused by a virus, often referred to as the 'kissing disease'. http://www.crha-health.ab.ca/hlthconn/items/mono.htm

'Your Health' Home 'Your Health' Topics About This Site Dictionary ... Links YOUR HEALTH: 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.

After a week it started to be suspicious that my temperature was still high. When she examined me she noticed that my liver was bigger than usual.

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".

Dolores musculares. 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).

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?

18. More About Mononucleosis More about mononucleosis. Sympthoms. A physician must determine whether such adrug should be used. What should you do if you think you have mononucleosis? http://www.cs.elte.hu/~zskatona/moremono.html

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.
