Mononucleosis and: Strep pharyngitis, although may share in some of the symptoms, are two very distinct conditions. Mono is caused by a virus (Ebstein Barr) and Strep by a bacteria (Streptococcus Group A). They are both contagious, but Mono tends to cause symptoms for a longer time and there is no known treatment (except rest and fluids) and Strep is usually self-limiting and easily treated with antibiotics.
