Mononucleosis no longer
means having kiss of death
By JACKI,E MARTINO
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Kiss, but never tell.
But you might have to if you get
swollen lymph nodes, a sore throat
and are extremely tired the symp
toms of mononucleosis.
"There's a lot of hype connected
with the term 'mono,' " said Dr.
Harry M. McDermott; chief of staff
at Ritenour Health Center.
"The whole treatment of mono has
turned around in the past 10 years."
Students were sent home or ad
mitted to the infirmary 10 years ago.
Today, in 99 percent of the cases,
students can stay on campus and
attend class, McDermott said.
The reason for this turnabout can
be attributed to a drug now used to
treat mono, he said.
The' drug, which is cortisone re
lated, is called prednisone. It treats
inflamation in the lymphatic sys
tem, including the lymph nodes,
spleen and liver. Prednisone treats
the symptoms of mono, not the dis
ease itself, making the patient more
comfortable.
Mono, a viral disease of the blood,
is related to an increase in white
blood cells.
Two major types of white blood
cells are present in the blood. They
are leukocyte and lymphocite cells.
When a person contracts mono, the
lymphocite cell count raises from a
normal 35 percent of the white blood
cells, to 50 or 80 percent of the white
cells.
Each year, for the past five years,
Ritenour has treated 750 cases of
mono, McDermott said.

dents, this (mono) is a common
occurrence," he said.
Cases of mono vary in severity
the average case Ritenour treats is
regarded as moderate, McDermott
said.
A mild case of mono could be
nothing more than a sore throat,
while harsh cases can include a
swollen throat and high fever. Stu
dents with harsh cases are still ad
mitted to the infirmary.
Every year, 20. deaths nationwide
are attributed to mono, McDermott
said. A major cause of death is the
rupture of an inflamed spleen. To
prevent this, rest is important.
"We emphasize rest," McDermott
said. "The individual with mono
must withdraw from all physical
activity, "
Though rest is important for indi
viduals with mono, many myths
surround the seriousness of the dis
ease, McDermott said.
"There's no necessity for them to
be either admitted to the hospital or
to go home," he said." Parents are
the biggest problem."
In addition to parents, roommates
and boyfriends or girlfriends need'to
be reassured that the chances of
contracting mono for those in close
association with a person affected
by the disease are remote, McDer
mott said.
"We rarely see it in two room
mates at the same time," he said.
"We rarely see it in the same couple
at the same time," he said.
Many factors can cause mono,
including overexertion, poor eating
habits and stress, McDermott said.
