A member asked:
My boyfriend has no immunity to glandular fever even to carriers, i had it a few years ago, developed hashimoto's afterwards. what would you advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check antibodies: Glandular fever is "mono", an illness caused by EBV virus. Most people eventually catch EBV, beginning from childhood. The illness is milder when one catches it early in life. So, if a person has gotten it one time, he can have his 4 antibodies checked. If he has antibodies, he will not get sick from another person's EBV infection. EBV is very common, and there is no vaccine, so is hard to avoid.
