A strong immune system will be able to prevent infection or facilitate a full and speedy recovery from glandular fever. Those with poor health, low nutrient levels and high stress are more likely to be susceptible and have a more prolonged or severe bout of this common infection.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes the vast majority of cases and up to 90% of adults have antibodies to the virus reflecting former exposure and immunity against EBV.

• Saliva transmission of EBV
• Transfusions with infected blood products
• Immune suppressed states
• High stress increases susceptibility

• Fever
• Fatigue
• Sore throat, swollen tonsils
• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
• Enlargement of the spleen and liver
• Rash
• Headache

Symptoms may take between 4 and 7 weeks to develop after exposure to the virus. Symptoms can last only a few days or as long as several months. In most cases, they disappear in 2 to 6 weeks.
