	Infectious mononucleosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 and fatigue.
		This variant of mononucleosis is often referred to as chronic EBV syndrome or chronic fatigue syndrome.
		Because mononucleosis is a viral infection, antibiotics are not effective, but a January 2006 study conducted at the University of Minnesota demonstrated that 3 grams a day of the antiviral Valtrex (acyclovir or valacyclovir) for two weeks (or longer) is effective in treating mono ([1]).

	Diagnose-Me: Condition: Infectious Mononucleosis - Mono
		Mononucleosis, often called "Mono", is a usually mild self-limiting acute viral infection and, in most cases, does not deserve its bad reputation.
		Isolation of the patient is not indicated; one can not catch mononucleosis by sitting in the same room with someone who has it, although persons who have had mononucleosis can shed the virus periodically in their saliva for the rest of their lives.
		Mononucleosis caused by EBV is the most frequently encountered type and is responsible for approximately 85% of infectious mononucleosis cases.

		Infectious mononucleosis is one of the most common infection seen during adolescence.
		The clinical diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis is supported by characteristic laboratory findings: modest peripheral leukocytosis with total white blood count up to 20,000/mm3, lymphocytes account for more than 50% (or greater than 4,500/mm3) of the leukocytes, and at least 10% (or greater than 1,000/mm3) are atypical lymphocytes also known as Downy cells.
