Sciencetific name for mono

Answer 1

The scientific name for "mono" is infectious mononucleosis. It is a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which is a virus in the herpesvirus family. Its usual symptoms include sore throat, malaise (feeling tired all the time), and swelling of the lymph organs, especially the lymph nodes and spleen. It is only very rarely fatal, and fatality is usually due to obstruction of the airway due to swelling of lymph nodes in the neck or because of rupture of the spleen, a lymphatic organ located in the left portion of the abdomen. There is no specific treatment, but some relief from the symptoms can be achieved through the use of anti-inflammatory steroids like prednisone, which can decrease the swelling of the lymph tissues.
