A member asked:
Can ebv mono cause secondary skin bacterial infections like folliculitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Most of the time mono is a self limited illness. In rare individuals it may cause immune suppression that could predispose the person to other infections. If you do not have fever, and have not lost weight, you may watch and wait.
