Mononucleosis, which typically infects the salivary glands, is transmitted by droplets in saliva, coughs, and sneezes, and by direct contact with mucous membranes (mouth-to-mouth). It is not transmitted by washing towels and clothing with the laundry of others. Treatment for mononucleosis is symptomatic; it includes rest, fluids, and analgesics, not antibiotics. If liver or spleen enlargement is present, the greatest risk of rupture is present during the first 2 to 4 weeks of the illness. Strenuous exercise and contact sports should be avoided while the organ(s) are enlarged.
