Dr. Kyon Hood answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Speak with your Dr: Symptoms of mono are often vague and non-specific. Your doctor must have had some reason to order this test based on your presentation. If it's not clear to you why or you're concerned about the test, I would speak to you physician to get clarification.
