Mononucleosis: Mononucleosis is caused by infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Once infected, you carry the virus, usually in a dormant state for the rest of your life, however, the virus may reactivate in immunocompromised individuals. hepatitis and toxoplasmosis, can mimic the symptoms of mononucleosis.

Yes: Mono a syndrome, named for the predominance of a particular white cell, the monocyte during the active illness. 80% is triggered by the EB virus, while a hand full of other viruses and germs can produce similar symptoms/monocyte predominance. If immune suppressed, you are more likely to have such problems.Confer with your doc as needed to manage symptoms.
