Risk of contracting glandular fever was created by mschack15@gmail.com
I am a liver transplant recipient. Am I at increased risk if I come in contact with a person with glandular fever? What precautions should I take?. I have read that Glandular fever is spread through saliva and can be spread through kissing, exposure to coughs and sneezes, or sharing eating and drinking utensils (such as cups, glasses and unwashed forks and spoons). I have also read that someone with glandular fever is contagious for at least two months after initially being infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and that some people can have EBV in their saliva for up to 18 months after having the infection (with a few having the virus in their saliva on and off for years)
