Overview
Mononucleosis, or mono, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Most adults are infected by EBV as children and develop antibodies to the virus even though they may never have symptoms of mono. Those that are first exposed to EBV as adolescents or adults are more likely to fall ill with mono. Mononucleosis, Second Edition explores the microbiology of EBV, the prevention and treatment of mono, and complications and related infections caused by EBV. This revised edition contains new illustrations and updated information on research and treatment.Synopsis
