Infectious mononucleosis, also known as mononucleosis, "mono", or glandular fever, is characterized by swollen lymph glands and chronic fatigue. What causes infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis is either caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus, both of whom are members of the herpes simplex 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. The cytomegalovirus is actually a group of viruses in the herpes simplex virus family that often cause cells to enlarge. About 80 percent of adults who are infected with the cytomegalovirus usually do not develop symptoms.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index M mononucleosis Search mononucleosis Mononucleosis is basically a mild childhood disease that occasionally affects older folks - teens and adults. When contracted early in childhood, it is usually just another one of those mysterious illnesses the doctor explains is a " virus ." It goes away in a few days, and unless the doctor is very suspicious about it because of certain physical findings, it doesn't often get diagnosed in the younger child. Those findings are usually a bad sore throat with a characteristic creamy-looking pus covering the tonsils, swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, and enlargement of the spleen and liver in the abdomen. The lymph nodes, spleen and liver are all organs involved in filtering out and destroying invading viruses. If a blood count is obtained, it shows a characteristic increase in the number of virus-fighting lymphocytes in general and an increase in monocytes in particular. Additionally, something called atypical lymphocytes usually appear in the bloodstream in large numbers during mononucleosis. These atypical lymphocytes are very young lymphocytes heading out to fight the virus.

Mono spreads from one person to another through the exchange of saliva (i.e., by kissing, sharing a toothbrush or eating utensil). Sneezing and coughing can also spread the virus that causes mono. After exposure, the virus goes through an incubation period (multiplies) that lasts 4-8 weeks. 1-3 days after incubation ends, the following symptoms may develop:

Strangely enough, that happens more often than you might think. Most people catch mononucleosis from healthy people. What is it? Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is also called EBV. Most people are exposed to EBV when they are young children. At that age, the virus causes mild symptoms, or even no symptoms at all. While this early infection makes you immune to mononucleosis for life, it also makes you a potential carrier of the disease. The virus tends to periodically reappear in the saliva of immune people. So if you've got mononucleosis now, you probably caught it from a healthy person. Who gets it? Mononucleosis occurs most often in people between the ages of 10 and 35, but the peak age is 15 to 17. It is especially common in groups that spend a lot of time together, whether in high school, college, or the military. Kissing isn't the only way to get mono. It's spread through saliva, so you may be exposed to the virus by other means, such as sharing a drinking glass or a straw. If you're trying to pin down the incident that exposed you to the disease, think back at least 4 to 6 weeks. That's how long it usually takes between exposure and symptoms.

MONONUCLEOSIS WHAT IS IT? Just about everyone has heard of "mono." Mononucleosis is also called the "kissing disease" because we carry the virus that causes it in our saliva. The real name of the disease is infectious mononucleosis. Mono causes fever, chills, sore throat, swollen glands, and headache, much as the flu does. Its hallmark symptom, though, is tiredness-sometimes extreme-that can last for weeks or even months. Mono infects people of all ages, but mostly teenagers and young adults. By the time they're 40, more than 95 percent of people in the United States will have been infected with Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that causes mono. Some people never get symptoms, but others do. Those who are infected as teens and young adults are the most likely to become sick. The disease is common among college students and people in the military, who seem most apt to get it when they face stresses such as basic training or school exams. Infants and young children can also get the virus, but their symptoms are mostly mild, more like those of a common cold. Although mono can run you down and keep you home from school or work, it's not a serious disease.

Children's Health Infants Toddlers Children ... Information Mononucleosis Basic Information Anybody is at risk of mononucleosis infection. It is an extremely common infection, with almost 80 percent of all people over the age of 40 having had mononucleosis at some time in their lives. It typically affects persons between the ages of 15 and 30. The incidence of mononucleosis in the United States is much lower than other countries. In the United States, mononucleosis affects an estimated 2 out of every 1000 adolescents and young adults, with the rate being significantly higher among college students. Symptoms A mononucleosis infection can happen without symptoms, or the symptoms can be so mild that they may not be noticed. When there are symptoms, they may not be present until two to eight weeks after exposure to the virus. The incubation period is even shorter for young children. The person is most likely carrying an infectious virus several days before symptoms appear. Mononucleosis is self-limiting, which means that the symptoms gradually diminish on their own. This disappearance of symptoms usually takes anywhere from weeks to months. However, the person can still be infectious even after the symptoms have gone away. Certain studies have found the virus still present in the saliva of mononucleosis-infected persons as long as six months after the acute infection has disappeared.
