 == Additional Info ==
+*Infectious mononucleosis (IM, mono), also known as glandular fever, is an infection '''usually''' but not always caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). While usually caused by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, which is a member of the herpes virus family, a few other viruses may also cause the disease.
+*This code is '''not''' a [[pathogen]] code because it can be caused by various viruses, and usually the causative [[pathogen]] is never identified, or even sought in clinical Mononucleosis.
+**Thus, for this diagnosis, since we do not have a specific [[pathogen]] code for EBV, do the following:
+***If the virus '''is known''' and is on our list of specific [[pathogen]] list [[:Category:Virus|viruses]], use that.
+***If the virus '''is known and is NOT on our list''' of specific [[pathogen]] list [[:Category:Virus|viruses]], use '''[[Virus, NOS]]''' -- this is the current situation for EBV, by the way.
+***If the organism, of any type, causing it'''is NOT known''', use '''[[Infectious organism, unknown]]'''
