A member asked:

Would a random blood test find glandular fever or do you have to do something specific to find it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EBV: Glandular fever is another term for infectious mononucleosis. Your doctor would have to suspect this and order a very specific test to aid in diagnosis. A routine CBC will not do.
