Answer
It seems to be talking about Infectious Mononucleosis. Infectious Mononucleosis (IM) is an acute, self-limiting infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Its clinical features include fever, pharyngitis, enlargement of lymph nodes, a significant increase in peripheral blood lymphocytes with the presence of abnormal lymphocytes, positive heterophile agglutination test, and the reappearance of anti-EBV antibodies after infection. There is no specific treatment for this disease; treatment is based on symptomatic relief, and most patients can recover on their own. When beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection occurs in the second order neurons, such as the pharynx and tonsils, penicillin G or erythromycin can be used as antibiotics. Some believe that metronidazole (Flagyl) or chloramphenicol may also be effective. Corticosteroids may be used in severe cases, such as severe swelling in the pharynx or larynx, neurological complications, thrombocytopenic purpura, myocarditis, or pericarditis, to alleviate symptoms and eliminate inflammation. However, they are generally not recommended for typical cases. 1. Western Treatment (1) Patients with high fever should be given fluids as appropriate. (2) Shock patients should be given blood volume supplementation and vasoactive drugs. (3) Bleeding patients should be given hemostatic agents.
