What famous people got sick or died from Mononucleosis?

Mononucleosis is a viral infection, commonly known as mono for short. It is an Epstein-Barr virus that leads to fatigue, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a sore throat. While it is rarely life-threatening, there have been cases of fatal complications. It is difficult to determine which deaths are directly attributed to mono, as it often affects other organs in the body.

However, there have been notable people who have experienced mononucleosis:

- John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, experienced mononucleosis while in prison. He was temporarily declared unfit for trial due to fatigue caused by mono.

- Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the grunge band Nirvana, was misdiagnosed with mononucleosis in the early 1990s when he was actually battling chronic pain syndrome and depression.
