Did I give someone pulmonary fibrosis?
I had mononucleosis. Maybe six months later, the elderly person I was had been living with when I got mono getting symptoms of what turned out to be pulmonary fibrosis, with reason for getting it not known. Now I'm wondering if I gave her my mono and that caused the pulmonary fibrosis?

Mononucleosis usually does not cause pulmonary fibrosis. A person can develop pulmonary fibrosis without any real cause and this is known as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Several other causes are smoking, inhalation of environmental pollutants, and certain types of infections.
