Answers:
Mono is also known as the "kissing disease"!. I actually had it when I was only 6 and it's usually a young adults disease!. You generally run a fever, have a swollen spleen and liver, and I remember being so dizzy that I couldn't even walk to the bathroom!. You would be really sick more than likely!. I also think the glands in your neck would swell!. Typically, the doctor would put you on bed rest for a couple of weeks because you could make your liver or spleen rupture with too much activity and that could result in death!. So, go see a doctor ASAP to make sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Infectious mononucleosis!.
Also known as Pfeiffer's disease!.
Symptoms are fever, sore throat, muscle soreness, and fatigue!.

Caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis predominantly consisting of atypical lymphocytes, a specific type of T-cell that gives the disease its name!.

The name "kissing disease" is often applied to mono in casual speech, as in developed countries it is most common at the same age when adolescents and young adults are initiating romantic behavior!. This co-occurrence is not apparent in undeveloped countries, where poor sanitation and close living arrangements cause the causative virus to be spread at a much earlier age, when the disease is mild and seldom diagnosed!.
