Mononucleosis is a disease that most commonly affects adults or adolescents. This condition is often characterized by fever, sore throat, muscle soreness, and fatigue. Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. This virus is typically transmitted from people through saliva or blood. However, it is far less contagious than most people realize. In some instances, a person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before symptoms appear. Typically, symptoms arise four to seven weeks after infection. The symptoms are similar to those of strep throat, and often include stomach ache, severe tiredness, weakness, depression, jaundice, and aching muscles.

If you have mononucleosis and have been fired because of your diagnosis, you may be a victim of disability discrimination. However, even if you have not been fired, you may still have been discriminated against because of your mono. Some examples of discrimination include your boss not allowing you to miss work for medical appointments, your boss not accommodating your need to take a reasonable time off work, your boss not providing you with on-site accommodations for your disability, and your boss not accommodating your need for additional rest.

Both harassment and discrimination based on your mononucleosis diagnosis are illegal.
