What Is Glandular Fever?
3. Adolescents
Those people who are most at risk of glandular fever are adolescents and young adults. This is largely down to their lifestyle choices such as going out socializing with other people. This can bring them into close people who are infected themselves. Young people that have not had the disease yet would not have developed and immunity to it, leaving them vulnerable when they come into contact with it.
People are also more likely to contract glandular fever if they share drinking vessels, cutlery, and crockery with other people. While adolescents are most likely to get it, however, it can affect people of all ages.
