However, in pregnant women, differentiation of mononucleosis from toxoplasmosis is important, since it is associated with significant consequences for the fetus. [26] Acute HIV infection can mimic signs similar to those of infectious mononucleosis, and tests should be performed for pregnant women for the same reason as toxoplasmosis. [26]

CMV mononucleosis (some sources reserve "mononucleosis" for Epstein–Barr virus only). However, the mononucleosis syndrome associated with CMV typically lacks signs of enlarged cervical lymph nodes and splenomegaly. [42] [21] CMV has also been associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome, [43] type 1 diabetes, [44] and type 2 diabetes. [45]
Antibiotic treatment leading to disruption of the physiological microbiome, thus allowing some microorganisms to outcompete others and become pathogenic (e.g. disruption of intestinal microbiota may lead to Clostridium difficile infection) Medical procedures; Pregnancy
The drug is predominantly active against HSV and, to a lesser extent, VZV. It is only of limited efficacy against EBV and CMV. However, valaciclovir has been shown to lower or eliminate the presence of the Epstein–Barr virus in subjects afflicted with acute mononucleosis, leading to a significant decrease in the severity of symptoms.
The response to treatment is similar to that in adults. [10] It shows a similar dependence on the genotype. Recurrence after transplant is universal and the outcomes after transplant are usually poor. [11] In children treatment should be initiated within 12 weeks of the detection of the viral RNA if viral clearance has not occurred within this ...
The gold standard treatment for adults is daily intramuscular injections of streptomycin 1 g for 14 days and oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 45 days (concurrently). Gentamicin 5 mg/kg by intramuscular injection once daily for 7 days is an acceptable substitute when streptomycin is not available or contraindicated. [ 20 ]
Aciclovir is recommended by the CDC for treatment of varicella during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters. [28] Aciclovir is excreted in breast milk, therefore it is recommended that caution should be used in breast-feeding women.
