Infectious mononucleosis, or mono, can often be hard to recognize or diagnose.
After all, the main symptoms of mono are very similar to the symptoms of strep throat and many viral infections.
Most importantly, the signs of mono are usually misinterpreted as common fever. On the other hand, the victims of the signs of mono begin to be anxious when there are already some swellings on their neck. If this happens, the patient being afflicted with the signs of mono also experiences some unbearable pain in their neck. As the signs of mono begin to persist, the patient might feel a little pain in his or her stomach.
Mononucleosis is sometimes accompanied by secondary cold agglutinin disease, an autoimmune disease, in which abnormal circulating antibodies directed against red blood cells can lead to a form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The cold agglutinin detected is of anti-i specificity. Patients with infectious mononucleosis are sometimes misdiagnosed with a streptococcal pharyngitis (because of the classical clinical triad of fever, pharyngitis and adenopathy) and are given antibiotics such as ampicillin or amoxicillin as treatment.
