Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, not by CMV.

Most cases of mono are caused by EBV, but CMV primarily presents as mono, and sometimes pneumonia.

EBV/mono is another common childhood illness with lots of nasty potential chronic complications, including lymphoma, other cancers, CFS, and autoimmune diseases like lupus, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Worst illness I’ve ever had. Probably. Knocked me out cold for six weeks, lingering symptoms for months and months. All to play a stupid spin the bottle kissing game.
