Infectious mononucleosis, called mono for short, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a type of herpes virus. Other viruses in the herpes family cause cold sores and illnesses like chickenpox.

The mono virus affects the lymph nodes, throat, salivary glands, liver, spleen, and blood, and it can make a person feel tired and achy all over. It can also make you lose your appetite.

Mono can cause you to feel really, really tired, but you may have other symptoms, too. These include:

fever
sore throat
swollen lymph nodes (the infection-fighting glands in your neck, underarms, groin, and elsewhere throughout your body)
headaches
sore muscles
enlarged liver or spleen (an organ located on the left side of your belly, right under your ribs, that filters blood and helps fight infections) Sometimes, it may seem like you have the flu or maybe strep throat because the symptoms are so much alike.

Infectious mononucleosis, "mono," "kissing disease," and glandular fever are all terms popularly used for the very common illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, a member of the herpesvirus family).

symptoms:
a general lack of energy or malaise,
a loss of appetite, and chills.
a severe sore throat, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck area.
a very reddened throat and tonsils and
swollen lymph glands in the neck.
