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.
You can also experience other symptoms listed below. Your blood is drawn, and if antibodies (heterophile antibodies) are present in the blood, the test is positive and you have EBV. Because mono is caused by a virus, it cannot be treated with antibiotics. Therefore, treatment is based on managing symptoms until your body can fight the illness on its own. You can give your immune system a boost by getting plenty of rest and drinking a lot of water.
