MAIN SEARCH INDEX Infectious mononucleosis Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition 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. Description 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

Head and Neck Exam Common Pathologies of Lymph Nodes Infectious Mononucleosis (Kissing Disease) A symptomatic disease resulting from exposure to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV, HHV-4). 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

Mononucleosis (mono) is an infectious disease caused by Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) 90% of the time. The remaining cases of mono are causes by other herpes viruses. SYMPTOMS EARLY SYMPTOMS ACUTE SYMPTOMS AFTER 5 DAYS Feeling run down Sore throat Loss of appetite Fatigue Slight headaches Swollen lymph nodes in the neck Puffy eyelids Fever Muscle aches and stiff neck Skin rash (sometimes) Enlarged spleen Liver enzyme changes Not all of these symptoms occur for every mono victim. Many of these symptoms are the same for a cold or the flu. Therefore, If you have some of these symptoms and suspect mono, see a doctor for a careful, complete diagnosis and treatment recommendations. CAUSES AND PREVENTION Because mono is spread by saliva, it's popularly known as the "kissing disease". EBV usually is in your body 30 to 50 days before you develop early symptoms, and only about 1/3 of the people with EBV ever develop classic mono. Those who have "recovered" from mono may have the contagious virus for up to 18 months. For these reasons, often it's hard to know who gave you mono, and hard to prevent it, unless you are a completely monogamous kisser. In most cases, once you've had the EBV virus, you are immune to it in the future. TREATMENT Antibiotics are not useful in treating viruses. Your body's natural disease fighting capacities should be able to get rid of mono, if you take care of yourself. This means adequate rest, (a nap if needed,) a healthy diet (high protein, low fat), lots of fluids to avoid dehydration and to flush your system.

Who gets infectious mononucleosis? While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus sometime in their lives, as few as 50% will develop the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. In developed countries such as the United States, the age of first exposure may be delayed until older childhood and young adulthood 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, toys, or by kissing). What are the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis?

Weight loss INFO News About us Product Usage Serving the Internet since Mononucleosis M ononucleosis, known as “mono” is an acute infection of the throat and lymph nodes caused by the Epstein-Barr virus 85% of the time and less often by cytomegalvirus. Mono is often mistaken for Flu many times. In childhood, the disease is mild and can pass unnoticed. However, when an adult contracts mononucleosis, the symptoms are usually more severe. Because the virus is transmitted through infected saliva, mononucleosis is sometimes called “kissing disease.” The virus may also be spread through coughing or sneezing as well as kissing. The condition gets its name from a characteristic increase in the number of mononuclear white blood cells. The symptoms of mononucleosis include: achy feeling and discomfort, depression , fatigue, weakness, jaundice , appetite loss, headache , feeling chilled, moderate to high fever, sore throat, lymph nodes that become enlarged and remain that way for a week or more, and a bumpy red rash. A doctor’s examination might reveal an enlarged spleen and/or abnormal liver function.

Could he have mononucleosis? How will my doctor diagnose and treat mono? Is mononucleosis ever dangerous? How do you prevent mononucleosis? My child has a sore throat and swollen glands. Could he have mononucleosis? The advantage (if there is one) to your child's getting mono when young is that the symptoms will probably be a lot less severe than if he caught it at an older age. Mononucleosis manifests itself in younger children like a bad cold and will usually run its course in seven to ten days. Your child will have a sore throat, swollen glands in front of and behind his ears, and possibly swollen glands also in the armpit and groin (where his lymph glands are). He may have a moderate fever for three to five days or longer. With older children (those in elementary school), symptoms such as fever may last up to 14 days, and the virus may affect the internal organs. "Over half of children with mono will have an enlarged spleen and liver," says Mary Schipper, a pediatrician at Mercy FamilyCare Children's Health Center in Baltimore. How will my doctor diagnose and treat mono?

The causative organism is a herpesvirus known as Epstein-Barr virus . The disease occurs most often in patients between the ages of 15 and 35. The virus is present in the saliva; it is usually spread by sharing a glass or kissing. Symptoms usually take 30 to 50 days to develop. Diagnosis of mononucleosis follows the exhibition of a large number of abnormal white blood cells (lymphocytes) on microscopic blood examination. These blood cells have a single nucleus that give the disease its name. Symptoms are varied but include enlarged lymph nodes, sore throat, fever, enlarged spleen in about half the cases, and excessive fatigue. Occasional rashes and throat and mouth infections occur. Liver inflammation is common. Fatalities are very rare and, when they do occur, usually result from splenic rupture. General therapeutic measures include bed rest and treatment of symptoms.

It has its peak incidence in adolescents between the ages of 15 and 17, but it commonly affects a much broader range of ages, including preschool and school-age children, although it is rare in children under age two. In adolescents, the incubation period after exposure is estimated as four to seven weeks; the period in younger children is unknown. WHAT CAUSES INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS? It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which multiplies in the lymphocytes, white blood cells that normally play a key role in the immune system's defenses. The virus is transmitted through exchange of saliva. By adulthood, most people have been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, but for unknown reasons, only a small percentage develop mononucleosis. Epstein-Barr virus is a type of herpes virus; other herpes viruses are responsible for

Prevenci³n Mononucleosis infecciosa (EB) Definici³n: Es una infecci³n viral aguda que genera altas temperaturas, dolor de garganta e inflamaci³n de los ganglios linf¡ticos , especialmente en el cuello. Usualmente se debe al virus de Epstein -Barr pero tambi©n puede ser ocasionado por el citomegalovirus (CMV).
