Hi There,
9 weeks ago, I developed the following symptoms:
High fever
Swollen lymph nodes (neck & back of head primarily)
Eye pain
Slight cough
MAJOR fatigue
Fever (100-101)
Night Sweats
Took a monospot test- Positive
Antibody test- Equivocal (current infection not confirmed)
As time has gone by I have developed:
Spenomelgy (confirmed by ultrasound)
Constant low grade fever (99-100)
Itchiness
Intermittant vomiting
Intermittant diaherrea
shortness of breath
chest pain
Swollen lymphs in armpit and clavicle
High Platelet Count (456)
Increased Basophils
All other CBC counts in range.
I had confirmed mono in 1987 & 1990 both much milder cases of mono.
This is the 9th week now, and I am not feeling any better.
Should there be concern of misdiagnosis (getting concerned about lymphoma)? Anyone have similar symptoms prior to diagnosis?
Thanks in advance for relpies

I was misdiagnosed with mono as well. I was also told that I had
bronchitis. My symptoms were- loss off appetite, itchiness, and a non productive cough.
After going to a second doctor I was given a chest xray, and was found to have DLBCNHL. After 8 rounds of RCHOP w/ Rituxan, I am doing really well.

Thank you GallaryGirl! Did you have a postive monospot or EBV Antibody test?
I am showing 'Eqivocal' results for current infection and Positive for Convalescent infection, but am not getting better at all.
My chest xray was clear, but am scheduled for a CT scan.
Thanks again for your response--I'm so glad you are doing so well!! :-)
