Question

In women, this disease may lead to an S-shaped swelling of the upper eyelids called the Hoagland sign. It’s not COVID-19, but many cases of this disease are characterized by the presence of reactive CD8-positive atypical appearing cells in a peripheral smear. This disease can be rapidly diagnosed with dubious accuracy during a heterophile (“HEH-teh-roe-FYE-oh”) antibody test. This disease is usually identified using a symptomatic triad of fever, sore throat, and (*) lymphadenopathy (“lim-FAH-deh-noe-PAH-thee”). In many cases, this infectious disease can cause its sufferer to have an enlarged spleen for a few weeks. (10[1]-5[1])This non-oncogenic (10[1])disease, whose most common causative agent is the Epstein-Barr virus, (10[1]-5[1])disproportionately (10[1]-5[2])affects young adults (-5[1])and teenagers. For (-5[1])10 points, (10[1])name this disease colloquially (-5[1])known as the (10[1])“kissing disease.” ■END■ (10[6])
