Excerpts

Many adolescents may be familiar with mononucleosis, either having suffered from the disease themselves or knowing a friend who has. More commonly known as the kissing disease among this age group due to its transmission through saliva, mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. This book explores the microbiology of the virus as well as treatment and prevention options.
