Patient's question:
Child has high fever, doctor diagnosed as infectious mononucleosis, is high fever infectious mononucleosis?Doctor's answer:
When the virus enters the bloodstream and causes sepsis, the next step is to begin damaging various tissues and organs of the lymphatic system. B cells are often the first to be attacked because they have EB virus receptors (CD21) on their surface. Especially during the acute phase, one out of every 100 B lymphocytes is infected with the virus, whereas during the recovery phase, only one out of every million B lymphocytes is infected. In the control of infection, cell-mediated immunity may play a more important role than humoral immunity. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and maintain a light diet.
