Mononucleosis (mono) is a viral infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This virus is transmitted through infected saliva. This may happen by sharing a drinking glass, utensils, or food, or through coughing, sneezing, and kissing. Despite common belief, mono is not very contagious. People in the same house rarely come down with it at the same time. It is more common in 15- to 25-year-olds. This may be because of more intimate or closer contact with others. For most people, the EBV infection usually occurs during infancy or childhood and without the typical signs of mono developing. Audio available. (English)

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) (Child) [English] Permalink Public
Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) is an acquired disorder, resulting from an increase in the breakdown of platelets. ITP is not a cancer or malignancy. Platelets are small blood cells needed for normal blood clotting. In healthy people, old platelets are destroyed in the spleen by a type of white cell called a macrophage. With ITP, this process is much more rapid. Acute ITP occurs more frequently in children between the ages of two and nine, although it can occur in children of any age. ITP is found equally in boys and girls. The onset of ITP is generally sudden. Most cases occur a few days or even weeks after a viral infection, such as chicken pox, or a respiratory infection. Sometimes ITP can be caused by an unusual response in the body to a drug. Researchers think that antibodies formed naturally by the body’s immune system attach themselves to the platelets. The platelets are then rapidly destroyed. If the body is unable to produce enough new platelets to replace those destroyed by the antibodies, the number of platelets in the blood will decrease.
