About Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis, often called 'mono' or the 'kissing disease,' is not a medical procedure but an infectious illness primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). An Internal Medicine specialist manages this condition through diagnosis, supportive care, and monitoring. Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam to check for swollen lymph nodes, spleen, or liver, and is confirmed via a blood test called the Monospot test or EBV antibody test. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms like severe sore throat, fever, and fatigue, as there is no specific antiviral cure. Management includes rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers, with close monitoring for rare but serious complications such as spleen enlargement or liver issues.
