The chances of getting mono a second time are somewhere between next-to-nothing and nothing. Dr. Hal B. Jenson, an expert on mono and its cause, the Epstein- Barr virus (EBV), has stated that: "Second attacks of infectious mononucleosis caused by EBV have not been documented."

Usually mono is a mild illness that goes away without treatment after several weeks. When you have mono, your symptoms may come and go, and your symptoms may change with time. A sore throat is worst during the first 3 to 5 days and gradually improves over the next 7 to 10 days. Fever may last 10 to 14 days.

Abstain from alcohol: Mono often inflames the liver, and alcohol makes this inflammation worse. Mono patients should not use alcohol for two months after the onset of symptoms.

You Can Get Chlamydia More Than Once With some diseases, having one infection makes you immune to future infections.

Rarely, the test may be positive even though you do not have mono. This is called a false-positive result and may occur in persons with: Hepatitis. Leukemia or lymphoma.

Yes, you have a good chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future. Most women who have had two miscarriages go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Sadly, miscarriage is very common, affecting as many as one in six confirmed pregnancies. If you've had a miscarriage before, the risk rises slightly to one in five.

Mono Symptoms Tend to Be Similar to Those of Colds and the Flu — but They May Be Worse and Last Longer. Mono tends to bring about the same symptoms as a cold or flu, but they linger longer and can be more severe. Symptoms typically appear anywhere from four to six weeks after someone gets infected with EBV.

Monospot-like tests may not turn positive for up to 4 weeks. Moreover, children younger than 8 years are less likely to ever produce heterophile antibody, so the test isn't useful in that age group. In addition, a positive monospot isn't always caused by currently active mononucleosis.

There is around a 20% chance that your second child will be premature. Even with all factors being the same, remember that every birth is different though so it is hard to draw any real conclusions from previous experiences.

Study: Having Sex Twice in a Row May Increase Your Chance of Getting Pregnant. A small study of 73 women from North Middlesex Hospital in London found that artificial insemination was over three times as successful when using the second of two sperm samples collected within the same one-hour period.

Signs of mono usually show up 4 to 6 weeks after you're infected with the virus. Most people feel better after 2 to 4 weeks, but they may be tired for several weeks after that. Symptoms can sometimes last 6 months or more.

The signs and symptoms of mono typically last for 1 to 2 months. The incubation period may be shorter in young children. Some symptoms, like sore throat and fever, typically lessen after 1 or 2 weeks. Other symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and an enlarged spleen may last a few weeks longer.

But they may not know that they have the virus at first. That's because it takes a while from the time someone gets infected to the time symptoms of mono (like tiredness, fever, muscle aches, headache, or sore throat) show up — about 4 to 7 weeks in fact. This is called the incubation period.

The mono test is 71% to 90% accurate and may be used as an initial test for diagnosing infectious mononucleosis. However, the test does have a 25% false-negative rate due to the fact that some people infected with EBV do not produce the heterophile antibodies that the mono test is designed to detect.

If mono goes untreated, severe complications may arise. Your liver may become inflamed by the development of hepatitis. Your spleen may enlarge to the point where it erupts. This will cause sharp pain in your abdomen and could require surgery.

Normally you only get chickenpox once because the virus responsible for it elicits a powerful immune reaction that is highly protective against symptomatic reinfection, preventing another bout of chickenpox. Repeat bouts of chickenpox can, however, occur in persons with severe disease of their immune system.

Well, it does happen, but quite rarely; if you do get an infection, the norm is it to only get it once. A small percentage of children will not develop immunity when they get their first infection, or even second, and so they can get an infection again.
