Infectious mononucleosis, also known as glandular fever, is an infection usually caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).

In young adults, the disease often results in fever, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, and fatigue. Most people recover in two to four weeks; however, feeling tired may last for months. The liver or spleen may also become swollen, and in less than one percent of cases splenic rupture may occur.
