Infectious Mononucleosis - Diagnosis



The symptoms of mononucleosis are similar to those of other diseases. If mononucleosis is suspected, a doctor may conduct a complete physical examination. The examination will usually include a test known as the "Monospot" antibody blood test. This test can pick out chemicals in a person's blood that the body has produced to fight off mononucleosis. Other blood tests are also available to confirm a diagnosis of mononucleosis.
