We sincerely hope you have a fantastic Valentine’s Day. Just remember that mono really is the kissing disease.
If Valentine’s Day is painful for any reason, we’re very sorry. If it’s painful because you have a bad sore throat, swollen or tender neck glands, bad appetite and headache, we want to talk to you. If you have any combination of the above symptoms, give us a call at 612-625-1462.
We’re testing a new, experimental drug to see how effective it is against the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the virus that causes mono. Participants will receive either the drug or placebo for three weeks. We’re looking to see if the drug makes students with mono better faster by reducing the amount of EBV they carry. This study is currently open for enrollment. If you are over the age of 18 and have had any of the symptoms noted above, and the symptoms started within the last week, please call us at 612-625-1462 so we can determine whether or not you are eligible for the study. Study participants receive a $20 University of Minnesota gift card for each study visit.
