Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Infectious Diseases INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS The development of infectious mononucleosis in a laboratory worker was observed to be associated with the development of serologic reactivity to Epstein- Barr virus antigens and led to studies demonstrating that infectious mononucleosis was uniformly associated with seroconversion to EBV antigens, establishing EBV as the cause of this long mysterious illness. Shortly thereafter, it was demonstrated that EBV has the capacity to transform or immortalize human B lymphocytes, allowing the derivation of EBV transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines that can be propagated indefinitely. Morphologically, the EBV is a typical enveloped herpes virus, with the nucleocapsid having icosahedral symmetry. The nucleoid core contains a double stranded linear DNA genome. The EBV virion preferentially infects and transforms B lymphocytes. The various components of the immune response to EBV infection appear to be largely responsible for the protean clinical manifestations. After an incubation period of 2- 7 weeks, adolescents or young adults developing infectious mononucleosis have as many as 20% of their circulating B lymphocytes infected with EBV. There is a brisk cellular immune response composed of natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells, and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1996/04_96/eichner.htm

Extractions: THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 4 - APRIL 96 In Brief: A two-step infection by the Epstein-Barr virus accounts for the characteristic features of infectious mononucleosis (IM). New serologic tests for viral antigens exist, but a rapid kit test for heterophil antibody usually suffices to confirm the diagnosis. General management is supportive only. Splenic rupture is very rare, almost never fatal if diagnosed early, and, in most cases, is probably best treated by splenectomy. Athletes tend to recover from IM faster than nonathletes. When the spleen returns to normal size, the athlete can return to contact sports, though it may take 3 to 6 months for an elite athlete to regain top form. I nfectious mononucleosis (IM) can pose headaches for physicians who treat young athletes and other physically active young people. The condition, whose prevalence peaks in about the same age range as athletic activity, is sometimes difficult to diagnose. Further, the risk of splenic rupture may complicate decisions about when athletes may safely return to play, especially in view of the lack of consensus on that issue. IM is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a herpesvirus that, like other herpesviruses (herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, cytomegalovirus), imparts a two-step pathogenesis. First, EBV infects epithelial cells and propagates, causing cytolysis and shedding progeny. The progeny then invade a secondary cell type, where they remain latent and so establish a persistent infection.

http://www.allsands.com/Health/Diseases/symptomsofmono_btg_gn.htm

Extractions: Symptoms of mononucleosis Mononucleosis is technically called infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever, but is generally referred to as "mono" for short. It occurs primarily between the ages of 10 and 35 years old. When younger children are infected, it causes little or no illness. Such exposure does, however, create an immunity to the disease. Nearly 90% of Americans have antibodies for mononucleosis by age 40. Mono has an incubation period of 30 to 40 days and the symptoms usually last 7 to 14 days but can last for several weeks. The virus can stay alive within the body for several months. The name mononucleosis comes from the fact that the disease distorts the white blood cells, causing them to only have one nucleus. Only a blood test called the mononucleosis spot test can determine if someone has the disease. SYMPTOMS OF MONONUCLEOSIS bodyOffer(7530) The following symptoms can be present with mono, but most likely not all will be. Sore throat, usually red Enlarged lymph nodes in all parts of the body Fever Nausea Loss of appetite Extreme fatigue Enlarged spleen (2/3 of mono patients) Ulceration of the pharynx (sometimes) Swelling of the upper eyelid Trouble breathing Rapid heart beat Red rash on the body (about 15% of mono patients) Oversensitivity to light CAUSES Mononucleosis is thought to be caused by the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus in 9 out of 10 cases. It is transmitted primarily through oral contact which is why it is often referred to as "the kissing disease." It can also be spread by coughing, sneezing, or sharing drinks.

Send Us Your Comments Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono) "Mono" is a mild self-limiting illness and, in most cases, does not deserve its notorious reputation. It usually runs its course quickly and rarely produces any serious complications. One can expect complete return to normal health following mono. The cause of mononucleosis has been traced to the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. There are, however, other viruses that may produce a mono-like illness. Mononucleosis is an illness that affects teenagers and young adults, mainly ages 14 to 30. It can occur in children and older adults. What are the Symptoms?

Extractions: Mononucleosis Mononucleosis is not a bad word, and it's not necessarily a bad diagnosis to receive. Infectious mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein Barr virus and can produce a spectrum of clinical symptoms. Mono is common in the 16-24-year-old age range, especially in colleges or the military where close living quarters are common. Eighty percent of people who have infectious mono will have a viral-like syndrome, frequently with sore throat, fever, headache, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. In the belief that they have a cold, many of these people will not seek medical attention and, thus, will have mono that goes undiagnosed. In fact, the vast majority of people over 40 years old test positive (using a special test) for having had mono sometime in their life; many of these people never knew they were infected. Mono gets a bad rap because of the complications that 20 percent of people may experience. Complications may include such severe swollen glands in the neck that breathing or eating is compromised. Mono can also affect the lining around the brain, producing an encephalitis-like picture. Mono can inflame the liver, producing a hepatitis. The spleen can become enlarged. Because of the tight capsule around the spleen, enlargement can produce pain and the danger of rupturing, even with minor trauma. (If you had an enlarged spleen with your mono infection you would be asked to refrain from contact sports.) Mono has also been associated with fatigue varying from a few weeks to a few months. Mono gets its bad reputation because people with severe complications of mono get more notoriety.

http://www.uhs.wisc.edu/ex/selfcare/resource/mononucleosis.php

Extractions: Mono is an illness mainly of adolescents and young adults. In developed nations, the majority of the population has been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus by the age 18. This means many of us have had infections as children caused by the mono virus (which were asymptomatic or mild) and we are immune to re-infection. What Are The Symptoms? Students most often experience a painful sore throat with tonsillar enlargement. Mono will also typically cause fever, headache, fatigue and enlarged lymph nodes ("swollen glands") in the neck. Less often you can experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or measles-like rash. The development of a rash can also be seen in greater than 80% of patients who have mono and are prescribed the antibiotic "amoxicillin." How Is Mono Diagnosed?

Drs Godshall and Kirchner discuss the complexities of this common syndrome and offer useful tips on diagnosis and management. Godshall SE, Kirchner JT. Infectious mononucleosis: complexities of a common syndrome Postgrad Med 107(7):175-86 T he syndrome of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy was first described in the medical literature in the 1880s (1), but the term "infectious mononucleosis" did not come into use until the 1920s. In 1932, heterophil antibodies were identified in patients with clinical infectious mononucleosis. In the 1950s, Epstein, Barr and Achong discovered that a herpesvirus was present in all tissue samples of Burkitt's lymphoma from Africa. The development of an indirect immunofluorescence assay for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) a decade later led to epidemiologic studies that showed antibodies to EBV to be present in more than 90% of adults in the United States (1). It was not until the late 1960s, when an unfortunate laboratory technician acquired infectious mononucleosis while working with EBV and serologically converted to EBV-positive status, that the link between EBV and infectious mononucleosis was discovered (2).
