Rash From Mononucleosis. Not From Taking Antibiotics. Posted: 09-03-07 13:17pm
I got a really bad rash and thought it was
allergies and when i finally went to the
doctor he tested me and i have mono. I
have an very itchy rash covering my whole
body. And like i said before its not from
amoxicilion or whatever. How long does it
last?

your rash is called stevens johnson
syndrome and it's very serious but rare
(except on these pages!) allergic reaction
to the virus. more often it comes when
mono is treated with antibiotics but in my
son's case he got the syndrome from the
mono itself. by now you're probably done
with it but just for the record, see a
doctor. it can get much much worse. if
it's a light case, you'll still have to
deal with the horrific itching. see my
family's earlier posts under mono rash....
