Infectious Mononucleosis ?
Well, I just recently have been diagnosed with Mono, and I was wondering, if I could follow my daily schedule, because I really don't want to fall behind in school and I've heard cases of people staying in bed for three weeks. I really don't want to do that, because although I know I feel sick, I can't leave school behind..
Any ideas on this anyone?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks :)
Jennifer.

Miss, Jenny:
If you feel you may infect others all you have to do is get your work from the school and do it at home and explaain to school you have to stay home because you are ill you don't have to tell them why and then you can recover and still keep up with the school work and not miss much. (

Infectious mononucleosis?
I'm a 17 year old female and about 2 months ago I went to the doctor for a cough. I was told I had adult croup and was sent home with some cough medicine. About a month later it came back; this time, however, my doctor prescribed me with steroids and told me to continue with my cough medicine. I started feeling a little better until about 2 weeks ago when I had an ache where my spleen is when I breathed in, which I figured may just be an internal bruise from coughing so hard. I was feeling really uncomfortable at the time and of course tired, as most all high schoolers are. Last Thursday, I decided to finally just go to the doctor since my spleen wasn't feeling much better. Since this was my third time there in about 2 months, she decided to do a blood test, which led to my diagnosis of mono. She said I had a little enlargement of my spleen, as well as something with my liver. Over this whole process of me being sick, I haven't really had a fever or sore throat or anything else mono related, except for the spleen and uncomfortable feeling, which just occurred within the past 2 weeks. I have had a few friends who have had mono before, and they missed weeks of school. I guess I'm just a little confused why I'm not feeling as bad as I feel I should with this. Do you think I'm just getting over it or it's just about to start? I don't know, just curious and scared, haha. Thanks for your help!!

I've had mono for 2 months myself, and still do..I also didn't have a sore throat or a fever. But you can have mono without them. Mono symptoms vary greatly depending on the person. I actually had a pretty severe case, severe nausea was my worst symptom. Hopefully your over the worst of it but beware it can come back when you think you are recovering, that's what happened to me. So make sure you take it really easy for a few months, no partying, no late nights and lots of rest, if you don't you might regret it. (

Infectious Mononucleosis test involves testing for antibodies in the blood so it is an immunological test?
Im referring to the monospot test - so would this be done in the department of immunology or in the department of haematology?
----------
The hospital I work at does it in the hematology dept. (

Why should you avoid sweets if you have infectious mononucleosis or the "kissing disease"?
I need a reason why. I know you should avoid sweets but why?
----------
Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. As with all viral infections sweets should be avoided. Sweets tend to act as a immunosuppressant, and hinder the bodies ability to heal.
Also with some cases of mono, a person can develop splenomegaly, or an enlarged spleen. The spleen not only removes old red blood cells from our circulation but also aids the stomach in digestion. Too many sweets can make this matter worse.
Rest is one of the best treatments for mononucleosis. Eating sweets causes rises in our blood sugar and when not engaging in activity to burn these excess sweets, complications can develop similar to diabetes.
Hope these all help...

Under treatment you can see that sweets should be avoided... (

Did you receive a doctor's note excusing you from school when diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis?
How long were you excused for? Did your doctor give you an exact date for when you must return to school, or was the return date open-ended? how did that all work out?
----------
Yes it is usually 2 weeks. Please tell your school. This is highly contagious. (

can the EB Virus which caused an Infectious Mononucleosis possibly lead to lukemia?
OR can the acquirement of such disease manifest an early form of lukemia?
----------
EB virus is associated with Burkitt's lymphoma, not leukemia. (

what might cause the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis?
symptoms such as pale complexion, a tired feeling, and a lack of energy sometimes to the point of not being able to get out of bed
symptoms such as pale complexion, a tired feeling, and a lack of energy sometimes to the point of not being able to get out of bed. does it have anything to do with the increase in lymphocytes?
----------
The first thing I would think of with those symptoms would be anemia. You need to see your doctor and have some bloodwork done. If it's not anemia, he or she should be able to determine what is causing the problem.
***************************
How do you know you have an increase in lymphocytes? Have you had bloodwork done? Anemia usually manifests as low hemoglobin on a complete blood count where elevated lymphocytes can be indicative of infection, either viral, as in the case of mono, or bacterial. (

I was just diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis and I am 14 weeks pregnant. How will this affect the baby?
I have found almost NO information on pregnancy and mono. Only the CDC site, but that was just one sentence. Today is Friday and my OB was closed by the time I got the diagnosis of mono and I am scared about how this could affect my baby as I am only 14 weeks pregnant. Does anyone know????? Help!!!
----------
There is no compelling evidence of an increase in fetal risk from maternal exposure to rubeola, infectious mononucleosis, mumps and respiratory syncytial virus
