Q: Mononucleosis Rash Without Amox?

My girlfriend had a horrible rash and was tired and that is how she got tested for mono and it came out positive.

Can you have a rash from mono ALONE or are the meds the only thing that cause it?
She has had the rash for over a month now and it comes and goes.
Allergic reaction was the doc's first thought but it kept coming back even after she was taken off many foods and meds.

So does she need to be tested for something else or can the mono alone cause this?

Thanks

Mononucleosis Rash Without Amox?
yes! she can get the rash without the antibiotics. my son just got out of five days in the hospital with the rash and he tested positive for mono but never went on antibiotics. the docs say the virus itself can trigger the allergic reaction called STEVENS JOHNSONS SYNDROME. please google it right now. it's very serious and can be missed by docs easily. its also not so bad in some people so don't let the google search freak you out. hopefully she gets help. see my comments just added to that mono/rash dialogue to see how my son successfully dealt with that horrible, painful rash. good luck to you. laura-lynne powell, sacramento, calif.
