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.
The Epstein-Barr Virus is a member of the Herpes family of viruses. The typical presentation of mono is in a teenager who develops a severe sore throat and fever. Keep in mind that the usual office blood test for mono, the âmono spotâ test, is often negative until up to 10 days of symptoms.
