    Extractions: mononucleosis By Danielle Zerr, MD Mononucleosis is an infection caused by a herpes virus known as the Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV. What is going on in the body? Most people are exposed to EBV during childhood. Like other herpes viruses, it stays quiet in the body long after symptoms go away. It can be reactivated later in life. Often this happens when the immune system has been weakened by disease, cancer treatment, or an organ or bone marrow transplant. What are the signs and symptoms of the infection? Young children exposed to EBV generally have no symptoms. At times, they may have vague symptoms, similar to many other childhood illnesses. When teens or young adults acquire EBV, though, mononucleosis can occur. Following are some of the common symptoms of mononucleosis: fatigue fever sore throat swollen glands EBV may cause enlargement of the liver or the spleen. If this occurs, the person may have abdominal pain or fullness. What are the causes and risks of the infection? Mononucleosis is caused by EVB. The virus may stay quiet in the body long after it is acquired. People with weakened immune systems are at risk for severe disease. This group includes individuals with cancer or immunodeficiency disorders EBV is spread primarily through saliva. It is nicknamed the kissing disease. Less commonly, it can be spread via

Taste Disorders Infectious Mononucleosis Infectious mononucleosis known popularly as "mono" or "the kissing disease" has been recognized for more than a century. An estimated 90 percent of mononucleosis cases are caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus group. Most of the remaining cases are caused by certain other herpesviruses, particularly cytomegalovirus. This fact sheet focuses on mononucleosis caused by EBV. EBV is a common virus that scientists estimate has infected over 90 percent of people aged 40 or older sometime during their lives. These infections can occur with no symptoms of disease. Like all herpesviruses, EBV remains in the body for life after infection, usually kept under control by a healthy immune system. Almost anyone at any age can get mononucleosis. Seventy to 80 percent of all documented cases, however, involve persons between the ages of 15 and 30. Both men and women are affected, but studies suggest that the disease occurs slightly more often in men than in women. Doctors estimate that each year 50 out of every 100,000 Americans have mononucleosis symptoms. Among college students, the rate is several times higher.

    Extractions: Oficina de Recursos Educacionales - FEPAFEM La mononucleosis infecciosa es una infección específica producida por el virus de Epstein-Barr (EBV) perteneciente al grupo herpes, que infecta preferentemente células epiteliales y los linfocitos B. A nivel clínico, este término se aplica a un síndrome inespecífico que incluye linfodenopatía generalizada, linfocitosis con aumento en el número de linfocitos atípicos, fiebre, faringitis y repuestas transitorias de anticuerpos heterófilos. EPIDEMIOLOGIA La mononucleosis está extendida por todo el mundo y aparece por lo general en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Después de los 35 años de edad es muy rara. En los países en desarrollo se produce una infección inespecífica o subclínica en muchos de los niños pequeños. Habitualmente la transmisión se produce mediante intercambio de saliva. Por ello se conoce como "la enfermedad del beso". No obstante, el proceso no es muy contagioso y su incidencia anual es menor del 15% en el grupo de estudiantes universitario susceptibles. El período de incubación es de 30 a 50 días en los adultos y de 10 a 14 días en los niños. DIAGNOSTICO Historia clínica . Después de un período de incubación variable y de unas manifestaciones prodiómicas como cansancio, anorexia, cefalea y mialgias, se produce un cuadro febril con tumefacción de los ganglios occipitales y retroauriculares. El tipo de fiebre no es característico y puede corresponder tanto a un fiebre continua como remitente. En general, las temperaturas oscilan entre 38°C y 39°C aunque pueden alcanzar cifras más altas. En el punto culminante de la enfermedad se encuentra una adenopatía generalizada, sobre todo en los ángulos mandibulares, pero también para la diferenciación de anginas de otra etiología detrás del músculo esternocleidomastoideo y en las fosas supraclaviculares y con menos frecuencia en las axilas y las ingles. El bazo está agrandado en el 50% de los casos y moderadamente duro (cuadro No. 1).

Heterophile antibodies are antibodies that non-specifically react against different proteins and are useful in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. The mononucleosis test is done to screen for the presence of infectious mononucleosis , a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus ( EBV ). About 1 week after the onset of the disease, many patients develop heterophile antibodies. The antibodies peak at weeks 2 to 5 and may persist for several months to 1 year. A small proportion of patients with mononucleosis may never develop heterophile antibodies.

    Extractions: Mononucleosis, a.k.a the kissing disease Epstein- Barr Virus or Mononucleosis has been called the “kissing disease” for several generations, but can be a very severe and debilitating illness for most that do develop it. This is mostly seen in high school and college students but not limited to them. Once a person is infected, the household has the possibility of getting this disorder also. Causes: bodyOffer(21384) This condition is spread person-to-person, much like cold and flu are. Coming in contact with a person infected, by kissing (saliva), sharing of utensils, toys, pencils, pens etc of the infected person. At rare instances it is passed by blood transfusions. To prevent further spread any body fluid exchange, or sharing of utensils should be prohibited. Signs and Symptoms: Sore throat, fever that may be low grade for up to a week or more, weakness, very tired, sleeping a lot, dizziness, may or may not complain of tenderness in the abdomen. Most people complain they just cannot stay awake long enough to concentrate, physical activity tire them out easily. Symptoms may take four to six weeks after exposure to be present. So, unfortunately many people have infected others without knowing. It is very important to contact the school to let them know your child is ill, as well as each child your child or yourself has come in contact with. If anyone else in your household have the same symptoms all should be checked for EBV. Diagnosis: Often a physician will first run a strep test depending on the symptoms, and then run an EBV blood test to see if they are infected. If this test comes back positive and active, the patient is then notified. This test can also tell if it is an old infection that is recurring, or if they have been infective before but not reactive at the moment. Since the throat can shed this virus without an infection being present for up to a year after infected.

Mononucleosisis a viral infection that causes fatigue, fever, sore throat, swollen glands and occasionally abnormal liver and spleen function. Mononucleosis in children and young adults is usually mild and more difficult to identify and symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks. Others, particularly adults or those with weak immune systems, may take months to regain their strength and former energy level. Mononucleosis is diagnosed by a blood test or by clinical symptoms.

    Extractions: Infectious mononucleosis, or "mono" for short, is a viral illness that is common in teens and young adults. Although several viruses can cause mono, 95% of cases are caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By middle adulthood, 90% of Americans have antibodies against EBV and thus have been infected at some point. When the primary EBV infection occurs in childhood, often it is without symptoms. However, when teens and young adults get infected, because of their aggressive immune systems, they get the set of symptoms we call "mono." The EBV virus develops its symptoms slowly. A patient has had the virus for as many as 30-50 days before the first mild symptoms develop: fatigue, mild headaches and loss of appetite are common. While sometimes these are the only symptoms, commonly the patient follows in about a week with fever, sore throat (often severe, with "white spots" on the tonsils), swollen glands in the neck, increasing fatigue, muscle aches and occasionally a skin rash. In many cases, the spleen can enlarge and the liver can become inflamed. In any given patient with mono, any or all of the above symptoms may occur, and the illness can range from very mild to quite severe. Mononucleosis is usually diagnosed by blood tests. At the Student Health Service, results are usually available within 24 hours or less. It is important to note that up to 15% of mono patients will initially have negative blood tests, and it may be necessary to repeat the test in one to two weeks.

    Extractions: Infectious Mononucleosis (mono, EBV mononucleosis) What is infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis is a viral disease that affects certain blood cells. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a member of the herpes virus family. Most cases occur sporadically. Outbreaks are rare. Who gets infectious mononucleosis? While most people are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus sometime in their lives, very few go on to develop the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. In underdeveloped countries, people are exposed in early childhood where they are likely to develop noticeable symptoms. In developed countries such as the United States, the age of first exposure may be delayed to older childhood and young adult age when symptoms are more likely to result. For this reason, it is recognized more often in high school and college students. How is infectious mononucleosis spread? The virus is spread by person-to-person contact, via saliva (on hands or toys, or by kissing). In rare instances, the virus has been transmitted by blood transfusion.

    Extractions: Back to table of contents The patient is usually of school age (nursery through night school) and complains of several days of fever, malaise, lassitude, myalgias, and anorexia, culminating in a severe sore throat. The physical examination is remarkable for generalized lymphadenopathy, including the anterior and posterior cervical chains and huge tonsils, perhaps meeting in the midline and covered with a dirty-looking exudate. There may also be palatal petechiae and swelling, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and a diffuse maculopapular rash. Perform a complete physical examination, looking for signs of other ailments, and the rare complication of airway obstruction, encephalitis, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, myocarditis, pericarditis, hepatitis, and rupture of the spleen. Send off blood tests: a differential white cell count (looking for atypical lymphocytes) and a heterophil or monospot test. Either of these tests, along with the generalized lymphadenopathy, confirms the diagnosis of mononucleosis, but atypical lymphocytes are less specific, being present in several viral infections. Culture the throat. Patients with mononucleosis harbor group A streptococcus and require penicillin with about the same frequency as anyone else with a sore throat.

    Extractions: What is Mononucleosis? Mononucleosis, sometimes called "mono" or the "kissing disease," is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family. Even though this virus is one of several herpes viruses, it has nothing to do with cold sores or genital herpes. (Although it may trigger an outbreak of either if you have those). It's classified as a herpes virus because once you've been infected, the virus stays in your body the rest of your life and may reappear in your saliva from time to time. However, you probably won't get the symptoms of mono again from this virus. Mononucleosis is a respiratory virus that affects the blood cells and the salivary glands (the glands responsible for producing saliva). Even though anyone can get mononucleosis, most people who get the illness are between the ages of 15 and 25. Mono can keep you out of commission for weeks or even months. How Do People Get Mono?

Considere las estadísticas siguientes: Aproximadamente el 95 por ciento de los adultos en Estados Unidos, entre 35 y 40 años de edad, han estado expuestos al virus Epstein-Barr, que es un virus muy común. Cuando los niños se infectan con el virus, usualmente no experimentan ningún síntoma importante. Sin embargo, los adolescentes y los adultos jóvenes no infectados que tienen contacto con el virus pueden desarrollar mononucleosis infecciosa aproximadamente en el 50 por ciento de las exposiciones.
