A member asked:
What happens if you have a positive mono test, can you be misdiagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Screening test: The so called "Mono test" is a screening test and is not specific for a particular infection. At least two different infections, EBV and CMV can give a positive result. There are false positives with this test and like any other screening test the results of this test need to be confirmed.
