It can trigger off a whole mess of autoimmune disorders. For me it triggered off Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.

The virus that causes mono is called Epstein-Barr. It is suspected to cause chronic fatique syndrome, suspected but not proven (that I know of) to cause cancer like Burkitt's lymphoma, and may have a lasting affect on the immune system. The biggest immediate threat is that some people can have a very enlarged spleen with mono. If the spleen ruptures there is a risk of bleeding to death. This is rare but I've seen this happen once.

while you have it, it can affect your liver and spleen. and complicatations can arise due to that. later on in life mono can relapse as it is always present. I found it interesting that it is estimated that 90% to 95% of adults in the world have EBV-antibodies, having been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (mono) at some point in their lives. The wikipedia definition is very informative.

chicken pox, shingles, all herpes viruses, yellow and dengue fevers, mono
