Consuming fewer than 20 grams of carbs daily is known as a ketogenic diet, or a very low-carb diet. The brain only uses glucose or ketone bodies for energy. When you restrict your glucose intake due to a low carb intake, your body converts fats into ketone bodies.
The mononucleosis test is used to help determine whether a person with symptoms has infectious mononucleosis (mono). The test is used to detect proteins in the blood called heterophile antibodies that are produced by the immune system in response to an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the most common cause of mono. A mono test is frequently ordered along with a complete blood count (CBC).
The monospot test is a fairly simple procedure that requires your doctor to take a small sample of your blood. This blood is then placed on a slide and combined with a specific solution. If you have monos, then your blood will start to clump when it is exposed to the solution. This test can effectively identify infectious mononucleosis two to nine weeks after you are infected.
