Mononucleosis Spot Test
What's Included?
No special preparation is necessary.
This blood test detects the presence of heterophile antibodies. Heterophile antibodies are antibodies that non-specifically react against different proteins and are useful in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.
The mononucleosis test is done to screen for the presence of infectious mononucleosis, a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). About 1 week after the onset of the disease, many patients develop heterophile antibodies. The antibodies peak at weeks 2 to 5 and may persist for several months to 1 year. A small proportion of patients with mononucleosis may never develop heterophile antibodies.
Monospot tests are usually positive in approximately 85% of patients with infectious mononucleosis. Positive test results will not occur until 1 to 2 weeks into the illness.
