Woman's graduation ruined after she's hospitalised with 'kissing disease' from snogging man in bar

Neve McRavey is struggling to fight the infection because of a 'weak' immune system

A woman claims her graduation was 'ruined' after contracting 'kissing disease' from snogging a random lad on a night out.

Those who have been to university and graduated will know all about the night out to celebrate the end of three or even more years of study.

While it's a whole lot of fun, it can be pretty messy, too.

Neve McRavey had been out clubbing with her friends earlier this month to celebrate finishing her degree at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

After meeting a lad at the bar, the 22-year-old says the pair shared an innocent kiss on the dance floor and thought nothing of it.

But when she woke up the next morning, Neve had a sore throat - though she put it down to tonsillitis.

However, her symptoms worsened over the next 24 hours and when she began 'gagging' on her own saliva, she opted to visit her GP.

Despite being prescribed antibiotics, Neve's symptoms did not improve.

The graduate subsequently went to hospital where she was diagnosed with glandular fever and fitted with an IV to rehydrate.

"It's called kissing disease. When I heard this so much regret was going through my head," she said.

"I've been single since March. I've been going out every weekend with the girls, dancing and having fun.

"Occasionally I'd meet a guy at the bar and get chatting and have a kiss on the dancefloor."

Neve added: "When you're drunk and single, you don't think anything of it [kissing a random person] and it's just a bit of fun.

"It's been well over three weeks now and I've spent nearly a month of my life bed bound and at the hospital just because I kissed someone at a bar.

"I didn't really get the graduation I wanted. All I could manage was to walk across the stage, take my photos and then go back to sleep.

"I had a lovely dinner booked with my family, and then me and my friends had tables booked out everywhere for a big night out."

Glandular fever is a viral infection that mostly affects teenagers and young adults, according to the NHS.

Symptoms include a sore throat and extreme tiredness, though the infection can get better without treatment.

However, that could lead to the infection lasting for weeks on end and make you feel very ill.

Due to her 'weak' immune system, Neve's body is struggling to fight the illness and it could take weeks for her to fully recover.

Get well soon, Neve!
