About Diagnosing Mononucleosis
Healthcare providers typically diagnose infectious mononucleosis based on symptoms.
Laboratory tests are not usually needed to diagnose infectious mononucleosis. However, specific antibody tests may be needed to identify the cause of illness in people who do not have a typical case of infectious mononucleosis. CDC – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
