Is Mononucleosis a disease

Answer 1

Contact with the saliva of an infected person transmits the disease, that is why it is called the kissing disease. It is really an infection- viral. There is no treatment that is effective and it takes 6 month to recover. You get fatigued, swollen lymph nodes, and cold like symptoms.

Answer 2

Yes; the disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus causes fever, swollen lymph glands, bruising, sore throat, atypical lymphocytes, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and abnormal funtioning of the liver.

Answer 3

Answer 4

This is difficult to answer. I don't think that if you have mononucleosis as a young person and recover from it that it will make you sick again at 70.

There is a BUT coming, and that is this:

Mononucleosis, or Epstein Barr Virus as it is also called, is extremely debilitating, and it can take a young person months and months to regain their full health. Most people by the age of 30 are immune to it and don't even know that they were in contact with it. But if they actually become ill with it, the recovery time is protracted.

Also, this is a bug that seems to have a relationship with M.E (myalgic encephalomyopathy), CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) CFIDS (chronic fatigue and immune disorder). These are all different names for the same thing, and most people who have it never regain their health completely, although over time, most people improve. Some sadly, never get any better and may be bedbound and tube fed for many years.

Most people have a subclinical infection which gives them immunity. Most people who actually get really sick with it will recover, but it will take a long time. But if someone with mononucleosis develops M.E, it will certainly affect them in later life because they simply don't recover completely.
