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.ther than kissing you can spread mono by sharing eating or drinking utensils or by touching something contaminated by mono and then putting your hand in your mouth. Also limiting spread is the fact that many infants and young children contact mono as an asymptomatic minor illness and so already have immunity.
