Mononucleosis is a viral infection causing fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, especially in the neck. Mono is typicaly referred to as the "kissing disease."

Definition/Description[1][2][edit | edit source]
Mononucleosis is a viral infection causing fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, especially in the neck. Mono is typicaly referred to as the "kissing disease." The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva, so you can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensil with someone who has mono. However, mononucleosis isn't as contagious as some infections, such as the common cold. Infectious mononucleosis is known as Acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a condition caused by a member of the herpesvirus family.
Prevalence[3][edit | edit source]
Each year a survey is conducted to study statistics of mononucleosis. Some of its results are given below:
- In a research conducted in 2002, it was found that about 95 percent of adults of the age group 35-40 years had been infected by mononucleosis in the United States.
- When Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection occurs during teenage or young adulthood, in 35 to 50 percent cases it causes infectious mononucleosis. In the research conducted in 2005, it was found that Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infects more than 98 percent of the world's population.
- The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis in 90 percent of the cases.
