CMV Mononucleosis treatment in Ciudad de México

CMV mononucleosis is an infection caused by cytomegalovirus, a virus in the herpes family that produces a picture similar to classic mononucleosis. It usually runs a mild course in healthy people, though it can be more significant in those with weakened defenses.

Common symptoms: prolonged fever, tiredness, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and, at times, muscle discomfort.

When should you see a doctor? If the fever persists for several days, the tiredness is marked, or there are conditions that affect immunity, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can guide the first assessment, and the infectious disease specialist or the internist go deeper in cases that require it; the allergist gets involved when there are questions about associated reactions. If symptoms don't ease, it's worth consulting about them.
