What Is Glandular Fever?
4. Weakened Immune Systems
Glandular fever is not usually a serious disease, and our immune systems are usually strong enough to protect us against it. For people with an immune system that has been weakened, however, there is a much greater chance of them getting the disease.
Some people might be taking medication that weakens their immune system, thus increasing their chances of getting ill. Other people with diseases like AIDS are also more likely to get glandular fever than other people are. In addition to being more likely to catch it, the impact of the disease is also likely to be greater to people with a weakened immune system.
