A positive mono spot test is usually enough to confirm infectious mononucleosis. The mono spot test is a rapid test used to detect the presence of antibodies to EBV. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system releases naturally in response to a harmful substance called an antigen.
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.
