Abstract

Infectious mononucleosis mostly affects teenagers and
young adults. The disease is spread through saliva and
causes fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. It
usually lasts from one week to several weeks. The most
effective preventive measures are hand washing and
thorough cleaning of soiled objects.
