Abstract: Infectious mononucleosis, or "mono" for short, is a viral illness that is common in teens and young adults. Although several viruses can cause mono, 92% of cases are caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By middle adulthood, 95% of Americans have antibodies against EBV and thus have been infected at some point. This paper provides information regarding the clinical manifestation of Infectious mononucleosis (Kissing disease).
