The initial symptoms of mono are:
a general lack of energy or malaise, a loss of appetite, and chills.
These initial symptoms can last from one to three days before the more intense symptoms of the illness begin.
The more common intense symptoms include:
a severe sore throat, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck area.
It is typically the severe sore throat that prompts people to contact their doctor.
In addition to a fever from 102 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, the most common signs of mono are:
a very reddened throat and tonsils and swollen lymph glands in the neck.
The tonsils have a whitish coating in at least one-third of the cases. The spleen (sometimes referred to as the body's biggest lymph node), is an organ found in the left upper abdomen underneath the rib cage which becomes enlarged or swollen in about 50% of patients with mono. An enlarged liver may also occur. About 5% of patients have a splotchy red rash over the body, which has a similar appearance to the rash of measles.
Many viruses can cause a mono-like illness, including CMV, adenovirus, and Toxoplasma gondii, HIV, rubella, hepatitis A, and human herpesvirus-6.
