Mononucleosis

Infectious mononucleosis remains a common clinical condition worldwide, most often caused by Epstein-Barr virus and characterized by fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, fatigue, and variable systemic manifestations. Although frequently self-limited, the disease carries important diagnostic and management considerations. This course reviews the differentiation from other causes of mononucleosis-like syndromes, such as cytomegalovirus, acute HIV infection, group A Streptococcus, toxoplasmosis, medication-related reactions, and malignancy, as well as the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, and potential complications. Participants will gain an understanding of characteristic and atypical presentations, evidence-based supportive management strategies, high-risk patients and complications, and guidance regarding activity restrictions and follow-up. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in identifying infectious mononucleosis, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition.
