Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is usually self-limiting, and recovery occurs in a few weeks; se-vere clinical complications are rare (5). Fatigue may last for 1-2 months after resolution of other symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Parasitic invasions and allergic disorders are associated with eosinophilia. Viral infections do not lead to eosinophilia nor do stress and anxiety reactions or fungal infections.
