It is typically caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but can also be caused by other organisms such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). Both viruses are members of the herpesvirus family. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Mononucleosis is often transmitted by saliva. While it is known as "the kissing disease," occurring most often in 15- to 17-year-olds, the infection may occur at any age. Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, malaise, headache, and sore throat. The sore throat becomes progressively worse, often with enlarged tonsils covered with a whitish-yellow covering. The lymph nodes in the neck are frequently enlarged and painful.

Go to PDF Version Infectious Mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is a common acute infectious disease usually found in individuals between the ages of 5 and 30. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. SIGNS Early signs or symptoms of mono can be vague, such as headache, chills, easy fatigability, fever and sore throat. As the disease advances, its manifestations become more obvious; fever; feeling of extreme exhaustion; tender, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin. Symptoms of nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain may appear. There may be yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice). You may have any or all of the above signs or symptoms. DIAGNOSIS Diagnosis is confirmed by a blood test. These tests may not be positive until several weeks after the symptoms arise and, rarely, may remain negative throughout the course of the disease. TREATMENT Since the disease is viral, there is no medication that can cure mono. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, but medical supervision is absolutely necessary. Patients are instructed to: Obtain 10-12 hours of sleep a day.

The label is only partly true. Kissing can spread the virus that causes this disease, but more commonly coughing, sneezing, or sharing a glass or cup transmits mononucleosis. It's not highly contagious. Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, although similar signs and symptoms are sometimes caused by cytomegalovirus. Full-blown mono is most common in adolescents and young adults. Young children usually have minimal symptoms, and the infection often goes unrecognized. In lesser developed countries, mononucleosis is more frequently acquired at a young age, so classic mono signs and symptoms aren't as common as in developed nations.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Bacterial and Viral Infections Mononucleosis Mononucleosis Treatment Self-Care at Home Home care with plenty of rest and fluids is essential for someone with mono. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) for fever and pain control. Throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water may soothe a sore throat. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Rest in bed and limit activity according to the degree of the illness. Avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports until the doctor allows resumption of activities. The spleen may be enlarged, and vigorous activity may cause it to rupture. Most doctors believe that a person with mono should postpone strenuous activities for at least 1 month after the onset of symptoms or until the spleen has returned to its normal size. Medical Treatment Mononucleosis can be treated best at home just by treating the symptoms and with plenty of rest in bed unless complications occur. Corticosteroids may be prescribed in the rare cases of airway obstruction, hemolytic anemia (an autoimmune process in which red blood cells are destroyed), severe thrombocytopenia (a decrease in platelets, which are clotting components in the blood), hepatitis (inflammation of the liver caused by the virus), and complications involving the heart and nerves.

Infectious mononucleosis is a viral disease that affects certain blood cells. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpes virus family. Most cases occur sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Who gets infectious mononucleosis? While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus sometime in their lives, very few go on to develop the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed in early childhood where they are unlikely to develop noticeable symptoms. In developed countries such as the United States, the age of first exposure may be delayed to older childhood and young adult age 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?

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.

How is "mono" spread? "Mono" is usually spread by person to person contact. Saliva is the primary, but not exclusive, method of transmitting "mono." Infectious mononucleosis developed its common name of "kissing disease" from this prevalent form of transmission among teenagers. A person with "mono" can also pass the disease by coughing or sneezing, causing small droplets of infected saliva and/or mucous to be suspended in the air which can be inhaled by others. Sharing food or beverages from the same container or utensil can also transfer the virus from one person to another. Research studies have shown that, depending on the method used to detect the virus, anywhere from 20 and 80 percent of persons that have developed mononucleosis continue to secrete the EBV in their saliva for years! It is not clear, however, whether or not these individuals are infectious. It is of note that most persons who are exposed to the EBV do not develop mononucleosis.
