Hello,
I think there is no connection between Grave's disease and mononucleosis. Grave is an autoimmune disease that immune system fights thyroid cells especially and mononucleosis is a viral infection caused by Ebstein Bar virus. Mononucleosis is not even related to staphylococcus infection and nasal polyps.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
