KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: When people think of infectious mononucleosis, or "mono," they often think of extreme tiredness as one of the major symptoms associated with this illness. Other typical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis in children are: fever sore throat enlargement of lymph nodes (usually in the neck, armpit, and throat) sore muscles enlarged spleen (the organ - located under the ribcage on the left side - that functions as a blood filter and antibody producer) Loss of appetite and generalized weakness also may be present, especially in adolescents. Nausea, hepatitis , jaundice, severe headache, stiffness, chest pain, and difficulty breathing can occur in some cases. A pink rash can occur all over the body in children who have been treated with ampicillin or amoxicillin. Younger children may have few or none of these symptoms; instead they may have nonspecific symptoms like fever, slight malaise, and loss of appetite. Adolescents are more likely to exhibit the classic symptoms described above. Some may experience extreme fatigue, staying in bed for more than a week because they feel too weak even to walk around the house. Infectious mononucleosis is generally a self-limiting disease, which means it goes away on its own in most cases. Occasionally mono can cause complications (which are decribed below).

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. Return to top 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. Return to top 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.

The most common complaint is a sore throat. Mono is commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, but other viruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), can also cause mono. Mono is most frequently diagnosed in teenagers and young adults. The illness generally goes away without medical help. However, it may last from weeks to months. Treatment is mainly to ease symptoms, usually at home, with plenty of rest and fluids. By adulthood, 90-95% of men and women have been infected. Mono usually occurs in people aged 15-25 years. Mono is highly contagious. Not surprisingly, 1-3% of college students contract mono each year. Infection spreads through exposure to body fluids containing the virus. It is most often transmitted via saliva (hence the name "kissing disease"). However, mono can also be spread through blood and genital secretions. Serious complications rarely occur.

Infectious mononucleosis 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 occur sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Mononucleosis is also called mono and glandular fever. Symptoms? Common symptoms of mononucleosis are: fatigue fever sore throat enlargement of lymph nodes enlarged spleen nausea hepatitis jaundice headache stiffness muscle weakness loss of appetite sore muscles chest pain difficulty breathing 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. Diagnosis? The most common tests for "mono" are blood tests. An examination of the blood under a microscope may reveal an increased number of white blood cells known as lymphocytes. Other blood tests may show an increase in antibody levels (antibodies react to infectious organisms in the blood and create immunity). How is infectious mononucleosis spread?

KidsHealth Teens Infections Common Infections When Ashley came home with a headache and body aches and pains, she thought she had caught the flu. But by the next morning, Ashley's temperature had soared to 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) and her throat felt like she'd swallowed hot coals. Even worse, she was so tired she could hardly lift her head off the pillow. Ashley had never felt this bad with any cold or flu. Ashley's mom took her to the doctor's office. A physical examination and a blood test revealed that Ashley had mononucleosis. What Is It? Infectious mononucleosis (pronounced: mah-no-noo-klee- o -sus), sometimes called "mono" or "the kissing disease," is an infection that is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is very common, and most people have been exposed to the virus at some time in childhood. Not everyone who is exposed to the virus develops the symptoms of mono, though. As with many viruses, it is possible to be exposed to and infected with EBV without becoming sick. People who have been infected with EBV will carry the virus for the rest of their lives - even if they never have any signs or symptoms of mono. People who do show symptoms of having mono probably will not get sick, or have symptoms, again.

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
