Can An Adult Contract Infectious Mononucleosis? How To Diagnose It?

my adult american daughter is in South Korea and is very sick. Her symptoms indicate mono and doctors over there have not done any blood tests since most adults in South Korea don't get mono. Her school expects her to come to work. What should she do?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Please, if her symptoms are suggestive of mono, then should be tested for mononucleosis. There is no harm in bringing this up directly to her doctors and asking the to test for. It is the right thing to do. If she is sick, she cannot show up for work. let her doctors issue a note to her employers to attest to her ill health and grant her some rest.

I hope this helps. I wish her well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
