A common, but usually not serious, complication of mono is a mild inflammation of the liver, or hepatitis. This form of hepatitis is rarely serious or requires treatment.

If you suspect you have been afflicted by mononucleosis or the ‘kissing disease’, while the signs of mono and symptoms have yet manifested, it is advisable to call your physician or health care provider and schedule an appointment. The diagnosis of mono by your health care provider is extremely important to make sure the signs and symptoms are managed.
The infection is spread via saliva, and has an incubation period of four to seven weeks. Symptoms usually persist for two to three weeks, but fatigue is often more prolonged.
