Objective Measures Fail to Predict Chronic Illness.
2001 JAN 11 - (NewsRx.com) -- Being female and, surprisingly, having good family support seem to predict recovery failure in acute infectious mononucleosis patients, while more scientific measures do not.
D.S. Buchwald, of the University of Washington's Harborview Medical Center, and associates investigated factors that precipitate chronic illness in 150 acute infectious mononucleosis patients. Using clinical, psychosocial, and demographic measures, they determined that, overall, there are no physical or laboratory examinations that can predict failure to recover in these patients.
"We were not able to identify objective measures that characterized self-reported failure to recover from acute infectious mononucleosis. The baseline factors associated with self-reported failure to recover at two months differed from those associated with failure to recover at six months," the researchers reported.
Failure to recover from this disease is characterized by fatigue and limited physical function -- the latter being a baseline predictor for failure to recover at two months, Buchwald et al. said. Age and higher temperature during the acute phase of the disease also predicted failure to recover at two months (Acute infectious mononucleosis: Characteristics of patients who report failure to recover," American Journal of Medicine, 2000;109(7):531-537).
