B 23 , 26 Atypical lymphocytosis of at least 20 percent or atypical lymphocytosis of at least 10 percent and lymphocytosis of at least 50 percent may signal infectious mononucleosis.

C 10 Corticosteroids may be helpful in patients with respiratory compromise or severe pharyngeal edema. C 28 Patients with infectious mononucleosis should not participate in contact or collision sports for at least four weeks after the onset of symptoms and until they are asymptomatic. Strength of Recommendations Key clinical recommendations Label References Fatigue, myalgias, and need for sleep may persist for several months after the acute infection has resolved.
