Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, chronic infectious mononucleosis can cause this type of reaction.

But you should be diagnosed with such a condition by PCR and its various antigens and antibody against it.

This type of chronic infection has very bad prognosis. Even antiviral drug won't respond it.

Only chronic fatigue specialist can help you. I advice you should visit to them. They will certainly help you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
