Yes, it is possible to get mononucleosis (commonly known as mono) in your 50s, although it is most commonly associated with teenagers and young adults. Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which can be contracted at any age through saliva or close contact with an infected person. While many people have been exposed to EBV by adulthood, those who haven't may still develop mono later in life. Symptoms can include fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.
