According to experts, there is a virus behind this disease. The name of this virus is Epstein-Barr virus. This virus is highly contagious. It spreads very quickly from one person to another. In this case, the disease spreads to another person's body through the saliva of the infected person.
Usually this disease does not turn into complications. In most cases the patient recovers easily. But this virus creates very serious complications in the body of some people. So all those who have floated in the river of love should know about this disease in advance. And if any such symptoms appear, take immediate action.
How does the disease spread?
As mentioned earlier, this disease spreads through the saliva of an infected patient. In this case, if the infected patient kisses someone or someone else eats the patient's food, he can also be infected with this virus. But usually this disease is not spread through sneezing and coughing. But if the luck is bad, there is a risk of contracting such a disease even from the sneeze- cough of the victim. Besides, this virus is also transmitted through blood or semen. That is, understand how complex the problem is!What are the symptoms?

This technique is used to diagnose the disease
The doctor first observes the patient's symptoms carefully. They clinically check the patient's tonsils, lymph nodes, liver and spleen. Then two blood tests are given if necessary. In this case complete blood count test is given. This test measures the amount of white blood cells in the patient's body. Antibody tests are also given as needed. It is through this that the disease is known.

In some cases, the disease can turn into an overdose. In that case, these few problems may arise-
