Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 an excess of mononuclear leukocytes (lymphocyte class)... and generally after an incubation period of uncertain duration (one week to several weeks), headache, sorethroat, mental and physical fatigue, severe weakness, and symptoms typical of influenza develop. Skin rashes may also occur. A rare side effect is neutropenia. in 8 to 10 percent of all cases the liver is involved and jaundice occurs, resulting in a condition that resembls infectious hepatitis. In rare cases, the heart,.lungs and central nervous system may also be affected. The spleen may become enlarged. The lymph nodes adn spleen may remain emlarged for sometime after the symptoms disappear. Sometimes it can become chronic and lingering.. some patients have fatigue, low-grade fever, swollen lymph glands, a sore throat and aching muscles adn joints that can persist for many year or months... this condition can be definitely dxed by testing blood for antibodies to the Epstein Barr virus. This is from the Keane Encyclopedia....I can tell you from experoince that it was the worst sore throat I ever experienced in my entire life. Pattie Mono? Besides fatigue what are the other symptoms of mono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
