ROBERT GREENHALGH PRESENTS Epstein-Barr Virus -- lots of company! I've read that most of us have the virus that causes mononucleosis. Why don't most of us get sick with "mono"? which can cause fever and fatigue. The treatment for "mono" is bedrest. Some patients may only suffer from a fever and sore throat for a week or so, and then feel fine. Others have severe fatigue, which can last severalweeks and sometimes a couple Just about everybody has Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the herpes virus that typically causes infectious mononucleosis (the "kissing disease"). By adulthood, 90 to 95 percent of Americans carry EBV. Why is it so common? Because it's transmitted through the saliva, and we all drink out of each other's glasses, share toothbrushes and kiss each other enough to unsuspectingly ensure that plenty of the virus gets around. Fortunately, most of the people who have EBV neverhave symptoms. However, once the common timespan for "mono" symptoms. Whether or not you are suffering from mononucleosis and its accompanying symptoms, however, it is presumed that you cantransmit EBV if you have it. But that doesn't necessarily mean you are constantly transmitting the virus every time you share a glass or a kiss. It's estimated that at any one time 10 to 25 percent of people who infected, you have the virus for life and can transmit it to others. Most people who transmit the virus are perfectly healthy. EBV is associated with other diseases besides mononucleosis. They are Burkitt's lymphoma, seen mainly in equatorial Africa, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, common in Chinese and other oriental populations. These diseases are rare inthe United States. The most common disease caused by EBV inthe western world is mononucleosis, which is becoming primarily a disease of adolescents and young adults. Symptoms or manifestations of "mono" include fever, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, and muscle pain. Mononucleosis can sometimes look like toxoplasmosis, which also involves the lymph nodes and can cause fever, or like cytomegalovirus (CMV), This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D.. Dr. Greenhalgh is a Back Mountain physician who offers general pediatric, gynecology, and geriatric medical care, on a personal basis. Board- Certified in have been infected will have the virus in their saliva. The rest of the time these same people are not infecting others. EBV should not be high on your list of things to worry about. Although there can be complications with "mono", these occur rarely. Evenif you're pregnant, there is little danger to your baby if you have "mono". There have been very few cases of congenital infection reported. Should you try to find out if you have EBV? There's really no needto, and besides, the test is not widely available and is expensive. You probably will be given a "mono-spot test" if you go to your doctor with sore throat and other mono-like symptoms. Otherwise, even if you are one of the many carriers of EBV, there's no need to be concerned. Family Practice, he is on staff at Mercy, Nesbitt, and Wilkes Barre General Hospital.
