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.

Extractions: 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

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.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: skip to main content Information for a Healthy New York Search this site: You are Here: Home Page Communicable Disease Infectious Mononucleosis (mono, EBV mononucleosis) 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?

Extractions: HEEAT Mononucleosis Mononucleosis is not a bad word, and it's not necessarily a bad diagnosis to receive. 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.

Extractions: "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.
