Risk Factors for Infectious Mononucleosis
Sharing drinks, toothbrushes, and anything that touches saliva or mouth
Sexual contact
Blood transfusion
Organ transplant
Compromised immune system that exposes individuals to EBV or viral infection that reactivates and cause second bout of the monomnucleosis (Rostgaard et al., 2019)

Cont’d
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (B20): characterized with fever, chills, rashes, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Ruled out since the patient never had chills
Human herpesvirus type 6 (B10.81): the disease is characterized with sudden high fever that lasts for three days, running nose, coughing, mild diarrhea, swollen lymph node within the neck, irritability, and reduction in appetite.
The condition is ruled out since the patient never presented running nose, diarrhea, coughing, and reduced in appetite (Ishii et al., 2019)
It is also likely that the patient might be having HIV and the common symptoms include fever, chills, rashes, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. However, it is ruled out since the patient never had chills. Another potential condition is human herpesvirus type that has symptoms of sudden high fever that lasts for three days, running nose, coughing, mild diarrhea, swollen lymph node within the neck, irritability, and reduction in appetite. Nevertheless, the condition is ruled out since the patient never presented running nose, diarrhea, coughing, and reduced in appetite.
