Response from Dr. Luzuriaga
 While many adults experience symptoms (fever, rash, mononucleosis-like syndrome) during primary infection, these symptoms are uncommon in very young infants. Young infants more commonly present with thrush (white coating of the tongue due to a fungal infection), hepatosplenomegaly (enlarged liver and spleen), or failure to thrive (poor growth). |
