Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My friend had glandular fever in the starting of last month. On last weekend, I had two puffs on an e-cigarette in which he had before me. His doctor said he is not contagious, but could be in rare viral scenarios. I do not know what does it mean. What is the chance of me getting glandular fever? His doctor said it was only contagious in a rare infectious way.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Glandular fever is a viral fever. If he has recovered from his illness then there is no way you can be affected. You are safe. He said rare viral scenario because, this virus spreads through the saliva. So, the chance of spreading will be fair if he was still infected and you had consumed the same cigarette or been in contact with his saliva. Also, I think that the chances will be still low. Do not worry; you will not catch the fever.
