What is the difference between mono and ebv? will a reactivation of mono cause cancer? if it does (even rarely) how long does that process take?

Mono is a pattern disease with a collection of symptoms that can trigger specific white blood cells, the monocytes, to appear in greater numbers in the blood. There are at least three viruses that are known to trigger this pattern. THE Epstein Barr Virus is known to cause the majority of cases. There is a link of EBV to cancer in the 3rd world but this is rarely if ever seen in the US.
