GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is infectious mononucleosis? Infectious mononucleosis is characterized by swollen lymph glands, fever, sore throat, and extreme fatigue. It’s often spread through contact with infected saliva from the mouth. Symptoms can take between 4 to 6 weeks to appear and usually do not last beyond 4 months.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infectious mononucleosis is very contagious and is easily spread through saliva. It is often difficult to prevent since many people with the illness have no symptoms. Once you or your child has had infectious mononucleosis, the virus remains inactive in the throat and blood cells for life.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the most common cause of infectious mononucleosis, but other viruses can also cause this disease. It is common among teenagers and young adults, especially college students.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s usually nothing to worry about. Swollen lymph nodes happen most often when your body is fighting a viral or bacterial infection like a sore throat or glandular fever. Swollen lymph nodes can also happen if a part of your body is inflamed – for example, because of an abrasion, a burn or an insect bite.
