Mononucleosis is a viral infection causing fevers, sore
throat, and swollen lymph glands, especially in the neck.
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.
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.
Mononucleosis may begin slowly with fatigue, 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 enlarged and
painful.
A pink, measles-like rash can occur and is more likely if
the patient is given ampicillin or amoxicillin for a throat
infection.
