Specific tests: There is one screening and one specific test for mono. Regular blood tests would not reveal it. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mononucleosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20350328 Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

It may show: An unusual type of lymphocyte is present in the blood in infectious mono and some other illnesses, and if the lab is doing its job, they'll get spotted. We can suspect it but not diagnose it. The labwork often stays negative for a while anyway. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
