Glandular Fever
Glandular fever is a contagious viral infection that causes swollen lymph nodes (the glands or lumps that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). Glandular fever is caused by a virus passed on through saliva or intimate contact (it is often called the kissing disease). Often the person passing on the virus may not display symptoms of glandular fever but symptoms can include fever, weakness, sore throat, swollen glands, muscle soreness, headache, rashes, enlarged liver or spleen. |
