glandular fever
Mono, essentially speaking
Glandular fever is the British term for infectious mononucleosis, a viral illness causing fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes—hence "glandular." The disease primarily affects teenagers and young adults.
It spreads through saliva, earning it the nickname "the kissing disease": She caught glandular fever and was exhausted for months.
