Dr. Michael Ein answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

No: Rupture of the spleen is a significant risk in mononucleosis. It is recommended that one should nottake part in any sport that could jar the abdomen for at least the first month after the diagnosis of mononucleosis was made. This would include rock climing.
