We present a case of a fit and well man who had significant multi-organ involvement secondary to infectious mononucleosis, and our experience of oral corticosteroid treatment. [casereports.bmj.com]

Both cases involved young adults presenting with fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and atypical lymphocytosis confirmed by serologic tests, liver biopsy and electron microscopic study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If all four are present, there is a 50% chance the cause is bacterial. [almostadoctor.co.uk]

• Malaise

  Symptomatic individuals typically first experience fever, malaise, and fatigue, which is later accompanied by acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis, lymphadenopathy, and/or splenomegaly lasting up to a month. [amboss.com]

  Any combination of the following may be present: Headache Fever Tonsillitis / sore throat Cervical lymph node enlargement and tenderness (usually symmetrical) Malaise and severe fatigue May have tonsillar exudate Nausea / vomiting / GI symptoms. [almostadoctor.co.uk]

  Fatigue and general malaise may persist for months after infection clears. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Fatigue and malaise may persist for several months after the acute infection has resolved. [ 6 ] Sore throat; tonsillar enlargement is common, classically exudative and may be massive; palatal petechiae and uvular oedema. [patient.info]

  Five to 7 percent of immunocompetent patients with this syndrome who present to a physician's office will have acute CMV infection. 6 CMV-induced mononucleosis can be symptomatically indistinguishable from EBV-induced mononucleosis. 7 Malaise, fever up [aafp.org]

In view of the significant transaminitis, diagnostic workup was performed for other causes of hepatitis. Extended screening investigations were negative for autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson’s disease and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). [smj.org.sg]

Treatment is usually conservative although there has been significant debate over the role of oral corticosteroids, especially in more serious cases. [casereports.bmj.com]

The exact reason of encephalopathy is very difficult to make out but whatever may be the reason, it carries a poor prognosis. [hepatitis.imedpub.com]

Although the prognosis for IM is very favorable, a variety of acute complications may occur. How to Cite 1. Uluğ M, Çelen M, Ayaz C, Geyik M, Hoşoğlu S (2010) Acute hepatitis: a rare complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. [jidc.org]

Prognosis Usually asymptomatic or of short duration and self-limiting. [patient.info]

EBV is rather uncommonly confirmed as an etiologic agent of acute hepatitis in adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

IMPORTANT POINTS The etiologic agent for infectious mononucleosis is Epstein-Barr virus, although a mononucleosis-like syndrome can be caused by other viral agents, most notably cytomegalovirus. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Etiology Pathogen : Epstein-Barr virus ( EBV ), also called h uman herpes virus 4 ( HHV-4 ) Transmission : Infectious mononucleosis is highly contagious and spreads via bodily secretions, especially saliva ; → " kissing disease " References: [1] Pathophysiology [amboss.com]

The presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies and intense positive staining of hemophagocytic cells for LMP-1 provided the final clue to the etiological diagnosis of EBV that had led to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. [jmedsoc.org]

We discuss the importance of differing clinical manifestations in older and younger age groups, the changing epidemiology of Epstein Barr (EB) infection within the United Kingdom and the role of different virology tests in establishing a diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Approx. 90–95% of adults are EBV -seropositive worldwide. Peak incidence : of symptomatic disease: 15–24 years Incidence : 500/100,000 per year in the US References: [1] Epidemiological data refers to the US, unless otherwise specified. [amboss.com]

Epidemiology EBV preferentially infects B lymphocytes and is transmitted primarily in saliva or, less commonly, by blood transfusion. It is not likely to be transmitted by aerosol or fomites. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Epidemiology Up to 95% of individuals carry the virus Approximately 50% of cases are symptomatic on primary infection, most commonly in the form of Infectious Mononucleosis Can present at any age. [almostadoctor.co.uk]

Some studies indicate that a person can spread the infection for many months, possibly up to a year and a half. [31] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The virus replicates first within epithelial cells in the pharynx (which causes pharyngitis, or sore throat), [en.wikipedia.org]

Raised awareness of this changing pattern of disease could prevent unnecessary investigation and consequent potential iatrogenic complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] tissues of the spinal cord and brain is caused by a virus resistant to physical and chemical treatment has an incubation period that varies from 6 days to one year is caused by a type of herpes virus vaccination is possible after exposure to the virus prevention [quizlet.com]

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 80,000 people in the United States are infected with HBV each year, and about 5,000 die from the disease annually. [humanillnesses.com]

Can You Prevent It? There’s no vaccine to prevent mono. EBV can stay in your saliva for months after you’re infected, so even if you don’t have symptoms or feel sick, you may be able to spread it. This makes it hard to prevent the spread of mono. [webmd.com]

Is it possible to prevent mono? Since mono is spread from person to person, avoiding close personal contact with infected individuals and practicing excellent hygienic practices can help prevent transmission of the virus. [medicinenet.com]
