People Don't Respect Herpes

'“Mono probably doesn’t have the respect it deserves,” said Dr. Robert Frenck..“It is a significant disease in the U.S., and people trivialize it,” [Dr. Joseph Pagano] said.' 95 percent of people become infected with Epstein-Barr, the herpes virus that causes mononucleosis. Spytoms include "fatigue, fever, sore throats, swollen glands and an enlarged spleen...[even] serious complications in transplant patients or those with weakened immune systems."
