Yes: Infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever can raise liver enzymes because it causes liver dis function . It is temporary and will settle as the illness settles.

Yes: A mild liver infection is common with glandular fever.Enzyme elevations usually subside within 1-3 months, but rechecking them is seldom needed if elevation is modest.
