The term mono refers to the decreasing amount of white blood cells during the infection. IT is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and the Cytomegalovirus. The Epstein-Barr virus is a herpes virus which comes from the same family as chickenpox and cold sores. Its only source is humans. The Epstein-Barr virus is an enveloped herpes virus which contains a neucleocopsid which has icosohedral symmetry. The nucleoid core contains a double stranded linear DNA genome. You may have mono if you experience any of the following signs such as; fever, sore throat, headaches, white patches on the back of your throat, swollen glands in the neck, feeling tired, loss of hunger, sore muscles, nausea, hepatitis (inflammatory process involving the liver), jaundice (skin or white part of eyes turning yellowish) or chest pain. You will usually experience these signs about 4-7 weeks after exposure to the virus.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="0804d0c0.html" border=0 width="589" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>References</U></B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="08e64640.html" border=0 width="100" height="100" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> http://familydoctor.org/handouts/077.html</div> <bR> <div> http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/infections/mononucleosis.html</div> <bR> <div> http://www.cs.elte.hu/~zskatona/mononuc.html</div> <bR> <div> http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/peds/pidl/infect/ebv.htm</div> <bR> <div> http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/infectiousmononucleosis.html</div> <bR> <div> http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/apr_96/eichner.htm</div> <bR> <div> http://onhealth.webmd.com/conditions/resource/conditions/item,418.asp</div> <bR> <div> http://www.medicinenet.com/Script/Main/Art.asp?li=MNI&ArticleKey=419</div> <div> </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
