Infectious Mononucleosis (IM), also known as glandular fever or mono, is a viral infection commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This condition primarily affects adolescents and young adults, leading to symptoms such as fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue. IM is often transmitted through saliva, earning it the nickname "the kissing disease." The onset of IM can be accompanied by significant discomfort and disruption to daily life, making timely recognition and management essential for affected individuals.

The role of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant systems in patients with infectious mononucleosis is significant. The increase in lipid peroxidation leads to elevated oxidative stress and tissue damage, impacting the immune response to EBV infection. However, the presence of antioxidant systems plays a protective role against oxidative damage, highlighting the potential for therapeutic interventions to target lipid peroxidation and improve IM symptoms. Further research in this area is crucial for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and potential treatment options for IM patients.
