Mononucleosis in teens may be linked to chronic fatigue

Once quaintly referred to as “the kissing disease” because it can be spread by saliva, infectious mononucleosis is a common viral infection that results in a few weeks or months of excessive fatigue before fading away.

New research in the journal Pediatrics puts the infection in a slightly more sinister light, however, as scientists have found evidence that teens who contract the disease may be at greater risk of developing chronic fatigue syndrome later in life.
