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. Alternative Names: Infectious mononucleosis; Mono; Kissing disease; Epstein-Barr viral syndrome Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.

It is typically transmitted through saliva or blood , often through kissing , or by sharing a drinking glass, eating utensil or needle. Contrary to common belief, the disease is relatively non-contagious. The causative virus is also found in the mucus of the infected person, so it is also easily spread through coughing or sneezing It is estimated that 95% of adults in the world have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lives. The virus infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive

Infectious mononucleosis: complexities of a common syndrome Postgrad Med 107(7):175-86 T he syndrome of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy was first described in the medical literature in the 1880s (1), but the term "infectious mononucleosis" did not come into use until the 1920s. In 1932, heterophil antibodies were identified in patients with clinical infectious mononucleosis. In the 1950s, Epstein, Barr and Achong discovered that a herpesvirus was present in all tissue samples of Burkitt's lymphoma from Africa. The development of an indirect immunofluorescence assay for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) a decade later led to epidemiologic studies that showed antibodies to EBV to be present in more than 90% of adults in the United States (1). It was not until the late 1960s, when an unfortunate laboratory technician acquired infectious mononucleosis while working with EBV and serologically converted to EBV-positive status, that the link between EBV and infectious mononucleosis was discovered (2).

Steps: Avoid kissing someone on the mouth if they are infected with mono. Keep the infected person's eating and drinking utensils separate from the rest of the family. Avoid eating with an infected person's fork or spoon, or drinking from the same cup. Turn your head if an infected person coughs or sneezes. Make sure there is an adequate supply of tissues to sneeze into. Avoid having sexual contact with someone who is infected. Wash your hands after you have been handling an infected person's things, especially if you've touched their saliva.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Infectious mononucleosis, commonly called mononucleosis, or "mono," is an illness caused by a viral infection, most often the Epstein-Barr virus. Mononucleosis has been nicknamed the "kissing disease" because Epstein-Barr virus commonly is transmitted in saliva during kissing. However, sneezes and coughs also can transmit the virus occasionally. In about 15% of cases, mononucleosis is caused by cytomegalovirus and human herpes virus-6, viruses that, like Epstein-Barr virus, are members of the herpes family. HIV infection, hepatitis viruses and even the parasitic infection toxoplasmosis can mimic infectious mononucleosis.

Resources Infectious mononucleosis 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

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that two viruses can cause mono: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Both viruses are in the herpes family, whose other members include viruses responsible for cold sores (Read about " Herpes ") and chicken pox. (Read about chicken pox in " Childhood Illnesses ") What is Epstein-Barr Epstein-Barr is one of the many human viruses we get in our lifetimes. In fact, in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 95 percent of the people between the ages of 35 and 40 are infected by Epstein-Barr. Worldwide, it has been linked in studies to a number of other conditions. CDC says two such conditions are Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. (Read about " Lymphoma " " ") Mono is most often caused in the U.S. by the Epstein-Barr virus. According to the National Institutes of Health, EBV causes 85 percent of mono cases. About half of all children are infected with EBV before they're 5, but at that young age, it usually doesn't cause any symptoms. But when it hits in the teen years or the 20's, watch out - it can cause mononucleosis. The peak age for infectious mononucleosis, according to FDA, is 15 to 17 years of age. Mononucleosis and its symptoms In mononucleosis, the virus is passed via the salvia of an infected person. Hence the name, the kissing disease. But kissing isn't the only way you can get it. Sharing a straw, a glass or other eating utensils are possible ways to get mono, according to FDA. On occasion being very close to an infected person when they cough or sneeze can also put you at risk. You won't know right away if you have mono though, because the incubation period (that's the time from infection to symptoms) is 4 to 7 weeks, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

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 chicken pox cold sores and genital herpes.

What is infectious mononucleosis? 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?
