How often can you get mono in a life time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The predominant cause of 80+% of mono is the eb virus and you develop lifelong immunity. It can reactivate, but rarely does. There are other illnesses that produce a mono syndrome, cmv, rubella, hepatitis, toxoplasmosis and others. Since there are other potential causes, it is hard to say specifically how often one can have mono.
