Infectious viral disease that affects the liver, respiratory system and lymphatic system.
Symptoms of IM include fever, sore throat, swollen glands, and sometimes swollen spleen or liver. Cardiovascular and Central Nervous Systems involvement rarely occurs, and IM is almost never fatal.
The Condition"...As with EBV, CMV is frequently symptomless, and mono most often results when infection occurs in the teens and 20s..."
contagious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and characterized by elevated mononucleocyte and lymphocyte counts, fever, sore throat, stiff neck, cough, and malaise
The Condition"...Cytomegalovirus has been found in the saliva, respiratory droplets, urine, semen, breast milk, feces, blood (transfusions), and vaginal and cervical secretions of infected persons..."
an acute disease characterized by fever and swollen lymph nodes and an abnormal increase of mononuclear leucocytes or monocytes in the bloodstream; not highly contagious; some believe it can be transmitted by kissing
The Condition"...Cytomegalovirus is probably spread through the body in lymphocytes or mononuclear cells to the lungs, liver, and central nervous system where it often produces inflammatory reactions..."
A specific viral infection (with the Epstein-Barr virus) in which there is an increase of white blood cells that are mononuclear (with a single nucleus) "Mono" and "kissing disease" are popular terms for this 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 meaning they have been infected with EBV. The illness is less severe in young children. The infection can be spread by saliva. The incubation period for infectious mononucleosis is 4 to 8 weeks. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. "Mono" can cause liver inflammation (hepatitis) and spleen enlargement. Vigorous contact sports should be avoided to prevent spleen rupture.

The Condition"...Prognosis and Possible Complications Fever usually resolves in around 10 days, and swollen lymph glands and spleen return to normal in 4 weeks..."

Infectious mononucleosis (also known in North America as mono, the kissing disease, or Pfeiffer's disease, and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is a disease seen most commonly in adolescents and young adults, characterized by fever, sore throat, leg and muscle soreness and fatigue (symptoms of a common cold or allergies). White patches on the tonsils or in the back of the throat may also be seen (resembling strep throat). Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis and atypical T cells (T-lymphocytes) known as Downey bodies.
