Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis (mono) is a widespread, highly contagious infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a type of herpes that transmits through bodily fluids like saliva. It’s especially common among teens and young adults. Many people have no symptoms, but some experience severe fatigue and body aches, and treatment focuses on symptom relief.
