Question 1

can there be a hundred percent chance of getting mono if you kiss someone who had it?

Accepted Answer

Not really: A majority of adults  had been exposed to eb virus (virus causing mono) during their childhood and developed an antibody to it.

Question 2

my neut % is 37 with a rr of 53-74. my lymph percent is 44 with rrof 18-42, my mono 18 rr 4-12..should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Blood tests: There are a few diseases that leap out from blood tests.  Most of the time, however, blood tests don't tell the doctor much on their own.  These results fall into the second group, not very specific.

Question 3

what does a mono, auto score of 14.9 indicate? i have ra and my mono, auto level has been increasing over the past few months when i get my labs taken

Accepted Answer

Just one of several: inflammatory markers. A higher monocyte score on an automated complete blood count suggests more monocytes in the peripheral blood.  Monocytes are one of several inflammatory cells and can be elevated in chronic inflammation such as RA. Other markers, such as sedimentation rate or rheumatoid factor may have more prognostic significance.  Your doctor/Rheumatologist will best interpret for you.

Question 4

is there a connection between previous exposure to epstein barr(moderate case of mono age 18) and subsequent development of auto immune problems?

Accepted Answer

Likely: Multiple sclerosis (ms) and systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) are both chronic autoimmune diseases with unknown etiology. To date, ebv is the most closely implicated infectious agent to be associated with both ms and sle. Epidemiological findings show a strong correlation between ebv infection and the risk of developing these diseases. http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/abs/10.2217/fvl.12.136.

Question 5

high level of wbc (11.5) with high absolute eos(.39), mono(.94), and neutro(8.47) auto levels, high hgb and low c02. feeling run down and bruising?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Your numbers don't help ascertain what is going on. This value of eos can not be placed ion high category. Eos usually become high otherwise in allergic reactions or exposure.

You need to get your throat checked out.

Question 6

i have an enlarged liver and had mono auto diff at 12.1 and mono abs at 1000 with afp tumor marker at 2.7. my cholesterol was elevated @209.  should i?

Accepted Answer

Consultation : It sounds like you have a complex set of issues and have already had some evaluation. For personal attention to a medical concern, consider a second opinion consult with a doctor on HealthTap.  The "inbox consult" allows you to message back and forth like email, and is good when a lot of information needs to be exchanged (like prior test reports, etc.).

Question 7

mono pct auto 9.3, up from 7.3 in april, and 6.1 in may 2021. mpv 11.4 for last year. other labs normal. joint & rib pain. family history of cancer at young age. my pcp says no indication of lymphoma or leukemia. should i seek second opinion?

Accepted Answer

: For as long as you have unexplained symptoms work up should continue and expand to other tests. Keep your PCP involved, the pieces of the puzzle are not coming together, a hem-onc or rheumatology referral may help in better defining your condition.

Question 8

how to deal with mono?

Accepted Answer

Mononucleosis: If you have mono hydrate well, rest, use nsaid’s or tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain/ fever, gargle with warm salt water if your throat is sore ; avoid contact sports if your spleen is enlarged.

Question 9

One can have a mild case or a more severe case to include a hepatitis.  If not progressing, please follow up with your pcp or an infectious disease doctor.

Question 10

can mono last for 4 months?

Accepted Answer

Mono...: …is usually caused by the Epstein Barr virus or CMV (cytomegalovirus).  The initial infection typically only lasts for 2-3 weeks but the fatigue and some other symptoms can last for many months afterward and are mainly caused by the immune system’s reaction to the virus itself.  If you have symptoms that are prolonged it is best to se your doctor for evaluation.  Good luck!
