More about the Epstein-Barr virus: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may cause infectious mononucleosis in adolescents and young adults. However, even after the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis have disappeared, the EBV will remain dormant in the throat and blood cells during that person’s lifetime. The virus can reactivate periodically, however, usually without symptoms. Infectious Mononucleosis What is infectious mononucleosis?
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 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 virus family that often cause cells to enlarge. About 80 percent of adults who are infected with the cytomegalovirus usually do not develop symptoms.

It typically infects teenagers and young adults, but also occurs in younger children, who have a much milder illness that is often not recognized as mono. Symptoms of mono consist of a high fever, sore throat, swollen tonsils with pus on them, fatigue, an enlarged spleen, and swollen glands that may be tender. Symptoms usually last for only one to two weeks, although the fatigue can last much longer. Mono can be diagnosed by a 'monospot' blood test and by doing a blood count which will show atypical lymphocytes. However these tests may not be positive if done too early in the course of the infection, so most doctors will wait at least a week before doing these blood tests. It is also possible to test for antibodies in blood against the Ebstein Barr virus to see if there has been a recent or past infection. There is no treatment for mononucleosis and most people get over it without problems. Rare complications include developing a ruptured spleen or an inflamed liver. To prevent an enlarged spleen from rupturing, children who have had mono are advised to avoid contact sports for at least two months after symptoms go away.

Infectious Mononucleosis
Mononucleosis is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus . You may have heard it called “mono,” “Epstein- Barr virus,” or the kissing disease.
Who gets mononucleosis?
Over the course of a lifetime, almost everyone is exposed to Epstein-Barr virus; but many people never develop any of the typical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. They do, nonetheless, acquire immunity and protection; and, in general, people only get mononucleosis once. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed to EBV in early childhood. Their illness is milder than that of older people and may resemble that of a typical cold or mild nonspecific ‘viral illness.’ In developed countries, such as the U. S., first exposure is more likely to be delayed until high school or college age. In this group, infection with the EB virus is more likely to be symptomatic and often results in the typical symptoms we know as “mono.” Older adults can develop mononucleosis, and their illness is likely to be different from that of children or young adults.

What is glandular fever?
Infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as glandular fever, is a viral infection , which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.
The disease is, among other things, characterised by a sore throat , swollen lymph nodes and extreme fatigue.
Young people aged between 10 and 25 years are most vulnerable to this infection. The treatment is to ease the symptoms, and the illness usually passes without serious problems.
How is glandular fever contracted?
The infection is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is transferred from one person to another in saliva. Kissing is one obvious way by which the disease can be transmitted. However, the infection is also spread via airborne droplets.

Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono) Disease Fact Sheet
What is Infectious Mononucleosis?
Infectious Mononucleosis is a viral disease that affects certain blood cells. The Epstein-Barr virus the causative agent of mononucleosis is a member of the herpes virus family. Other agents such as cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and human herpesvirus type 6, can cause an illness similar to mononucleosis. The disease usually occurs sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Who gets Infectious Mononucleosis?
While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus sometime in their lives, very few develop the symptoms of Infectious Mononucleosis. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed in early childhood when they are not likely to develop noticeable symptoms. 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?

Mononucleosis
DESCRIPTION: Infectious mononucleosis, the classic triad of fever, lymphadenopathy, and pharyngitis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in about 80% of cases. The majority of the remaining cases are due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Symptoms result from the effects on the lymphoreticular system. The "mono" syndrome is characterized by fatigue, fever, splenomegaly, adenopathy and pharyngitis. Transmission is fecal-oral, often attributed to kissing. Incubation period is 30-50 days.
System(s) affected: Hemic/Lymphatic/Immunologic, Cardiovascular, Nervous, Gastrointestinal, Pulmonary
Genetics: Unknown; possibly related to severity of illness
Incidence/Prevalence in USA:
  • Incidence is about 50/100,000/year in general population to 5,000/100,000/year in susceptible college students
  • Lower socioeconomic status: 50-85% seropositive by age 4
  • Middle-upper socioeconomic status: 14-50% seropositive by college age
  • By young adult life, 90-95% of persons are antibody positive
  • No clear seasonal incidence

Predominant age: 15-24; females 2 years earlier than males

  • What is mono?
    Mono is a viral disease. The Epstein-Barr virus is very common and infects the great majority of people at some point in their lives, but not all people develop symptoms of mononucleosis. Mono is most common in young adults ages 15 to 25.
    Symptoms of mono can include some or all of the following:
    • High fever
      Headache
      Severe sore throat Swollen glands (lymph nodes)
    • Fatigue Muscle aches
    • Abdominal tenderness
    Symptoms usually last two to four weeks, though feelings of fatigue may last longer. Back to top How is mono transmitted? The virus that causes mononucleosis is transferred through the saliva, thus the nickname "the kissing disease." You can be exposed to mono by kissing, or by sharing utensils for eating and drinking.

    W hat is Mono (Mononucleosis)?
    This page was reviewed or revised on Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Mono is a viral infection that causes tiredness, fever, sore throat, swollen glands and may cause the liver or spleen to become bigger than normal or abnormal liver and spleen function. Mono in children and young adults is usually mild and hard to identify. Signs usually vanish within a few weeks. Adults or those with weak immune systems may take months to regain their strength and energy level. Mono is detected by a blood test or by symptoms. Because mono can cause the liver or spleen to become bigger than normal, you should not take part in contact sports until the doctors gives you the okay.

    Mononucleosis, a.k.a the kissing disease
    Mononucleosis, EBV: signs, precautions and symptoms I should watch for.
    Epstein- Barr Virus or Mononucleosis has been called the “kissing disease” for several generations, but can be a very severe and debilitating illness for most that do develop it. This is mostly seen in high school and college students but not limited to them. Once a person is infected, the household has the possibility of getting this disorder also. Causes: This condition is spread person-to-person, much like cold and flu are. Coming in contact with a person infected, by kissing (saliva), sharing of utensils, toys, pencils, pens etc of the infected person. At rare instances it is passed by blood transfusions. To prevent further spread any body fluid exchange, or sharing of utensils should be prohibited. Signs and Symptoms: Sore throat, fever that may be low grade for up to a week or more, weakness, very tired, sleeping a lot, dizziness, may or may not complain of tenderness in the abdomen. Most people complain they just cannot stay awake long enough to concentrate, physical activity tire them out easily. Symptoms may take four to six weeks after exposure to be present. So, unfortunately many people have infected others without knowing. It is very important to contact the school to let them know your child is ill, as well as each child your child or yourself has come in contact with. If anyone else in your household have the same symptoms all should be checked for EBV.

Infectious mononucleosis is a clinical syndrome caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that is particularly common in adolescents and children. Typical features of infectious mononucleosis include fever, pharyngitis, adenopathy, malaise, and an atypical lymphocytosis. Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, jaundice, and splenic rupture can occur in patients with infectious mononucleosis, but these complications are rare. (1) Data collected more than 30 years ago on the incidence of infectious mononucleosis show the highest rates in persons 10 to 19 years of age (six to eight cases per 1,000 persons per year). (2, 3) The incidence in persons younger than 10 years and older than 30 years is less than one case per 1,000 persons per year, (2, 3) but mild infections in younger children often may be undiagnosed. The infection is most common in populations with many young adults, such as active-duty military personnel and college students, in whom the annual incidence for infectious mononucleosis ranges from 11 to 48 cases per 1,000 persons.

    Diagnosis
    Infectious Mononucleosis What is "mono?"
    Infectious mononucleosis, "mono," and "kissing disease" are all terms popularly used for the very common illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By the time most people reach adulthood, an antibody against EBV can be detected in their blood. This means that most people, sometime in their lives, have been infected with EBV. (The body's immune system produces antibodies to attack and help destroy invading viruses and bacteria. These specific antibodies can be detected in the blood of patients who have been infected.) "Mono" is most often diagnosed in adolescents and young adults. However, it is also seen in children. Generally, the illness is less severe in young children, which may explain why it is less commonly diagnosed in this younger age group. While there are other illnesses falling under the broad classification of "mononucleosis," the one caused by the EBV is by far the most common.

    Stat: Generally, people only get mono once. It's most common among people 15 to 35 years old.
    What is it exactly?
    Mononucleosis (often called "mono") is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
    About how many people have it?
    There is a big difference between having mono and having EBV. A person can have EBV and not have any symptoms of mono, but you must have EBV to have mono. About half of all people had EBV before they were 5, but at that young age, it usually doesn't cause any symptoms. By age 40, 85 to 90 percent of Americans have had EBV.
    How is it spread?
    EBV is usually transmitted through saliva and mucus. So it can be transmitted by kissing, sharing drinking glasses or utensils, or being coughed on by someone who has an active virus. People have an active virus if they were recently infected or at random times for the rest of their lives.
