Your doctor may do some blood tests, including:
- A monospot, which confirms that you've got mono. Blood tests that look for EBV antibodies and liver function tests can also help with a diagnosis of mono.
- A CBC (complete blood count) will show if your lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, show changes that may be a sign of mono.
