I've read that most of us have the virus that causes ‘mononucleosis. Why don't most of us get sick with : : 4 mono’? Just about everybody has Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the herpes virus that typically causes infectious mono- nucleosis (the "kissing disease"). By adulthood, 90 to 95 percent of Americans carry EBV. Why is itso common? Because it's transmitted through saliva, and we all drink out of each other's glasses, share toothbrushes and kiss each other enough to unsuspectingly ensure that plenty Fortunately, most of the people who have EBV never have symptoms. However, once infected, you have the “virus for life and can transmit it to others. Most pcople . who transmit the virus are perfectly healthy. EBV isassociated with other diseases besides mono- * nucleosis. They are Burkitt's lymphoma, seen mainly in ' equatorial Africa, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, * common in Chinese and other Oriental populations. These diseases are rare in the United States. The most common disease caused by EBV in the 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 muscie _. pain. Mononucleosis can sometimes look like toxoplas- ~ mosis, which also involves the lymph nodes and can ~ cause fever, or like cytomegalovirus (CMV), which can Back Mountain briefs American Legion elects officers The Daddow-Isaacs American Legion Auxiliary Unit 672, Dallas met recently and elected the following officers for 1990-1991: President, Martha Reese; first vice president, Marion Harvey; second vice presi- dent, Ginger Spencer; secretary, Ruth Struthers; treasurer, Marion Kunigonis; historian, Marguerite Dubil, chaplain, Florence Owens; Sergeant-At-Arms, Jean Hazeltine.

Others have severe fatigue, infecting others. reported. which can last several weeks and sometimes a couple of months. However, two to three weeks is the common timespan for "mono" symptoms. Whether or not you are suffering from mononucleo- sis and its accompanying symptoms, however, it is pre- sumed that you can transmit EBV if you have it. But that doesn't necessarily mean you are constantly transmit- ting 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 have been infected will have the virus in their saliva. The rest of the time these same people are not EBV should not be high on your list of things to worry about. Although there can be complications with "mono," these occur rarely. Even if you're pregnant, there is little danger to your baby if you have "mono." There have been very few cases of congenital infection Should you try to find out if you have EBV? There's really no need to, 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 a 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.
