Is Glandular Fever Infectious After 3 Weeks?
Hello. I was diagnosed with glandular fever approximately 3 weeks which was roughly when I started getting symptoms. My doctor tells me I am no longer contaigious that the contaigious period is in the incubation period which is 3 to 4 months prior to getting symptoms. My brother is coming to visit with his 4 month old baby and is extremely bothered and worried as he thinks I may infect her. Can you offer some confirmation ?
