A member asked:
Can a false positive mono spot test indicate leukemia or lymphoma or parvovirus ? my son got one at urgent care that was positive. we followed up with his pcp and it was negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This does not indicate any of the condition you have listed. The monspot test could have been falsely positive in Urgent Care. Or if he had mononucleosis for a while, the becomes negative as the mono clears up. Discuss with his PCP.
