Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
IM, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is usually self-limiting, primarily affecting individuals aged 10 to 30 years, in some patients symptoms, such as fatigue, have been known
to be prolonged, resulting in chronic illness. Furthermore, IM has been associated with malignancies in later life. The reasons behind this outcome are poorly understood, as research continues to investigate
the mechanisms of EBV contagion and how this affects the immune system. The following examination of IM offers a comprehensive overview, beginning with the diseases epidemiology, which demonstrates the
complexity of EBV viral causation behind this disease. Topics covered include the history of IM and the association with EBV; characteristic symptoms of IM and how it is diagnosed;
incubation; and recovery and treatment. This overview concludes with a brief look at several recent research studies addressing IM and the recommendation of researchers for future research on this topic.
Introduction and epidemiology Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (Bytomski, Rothschild and Colletti, 2006). It is a "self-limiting disorder" that is usually found
in persons aged 10 to 30 years and estimates say that more than 90 percent of all adults on a global basis are infected with EBV (Bytomski, Rothschild and Colletti,
2006). The annual incidence of IM in individuals aged 10 to 19 years is 6 to 8 cases per 1000 in populations, but among college students, the incidence is
11 to 48 cases per 1000 (Bytomski, Rothschild and Colletti, 2006). Risk of developing a symptomatic infection decreases greatly after age 35. An overview of IM demonstrates its complexity and
how the repercussions of this potentially deadly disease are being investigated by researchers. History IM was first described by a German physician in 1889 who called it glandular fever
