What Is a Mononucleosis Spot Test? A mononucleosis spot (or Monospot) test is a blood test used to determine whether or not you are infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, which is the organism that causes infectious mononucleosis. Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of mononucleosis.
Your doctor can usually diagnose mono based on the presence of symptoms such as a fever, a sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. Your age is also a good indicator. Mono usually occurs in teenagers, but it can occur in people at any age. Blood tests may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
