Mononucleosis, commonly known as “mono” or the “kissing disease,” is a viral infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). If you suspect you have mono or want to confirm a diagnosis, timely and accurate testing is essential for appropriate medical management.
Dr. John Abroon offers state-of-the-art mononucleosis testing services in New York, New York, on the Upper East Side, that provides reliable results in a swift and efficient manner. We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure accurate detection of the virus.
The primary method of diagnosing mononucleosis is through a blood test. The test measures the presence of specific antibodies produced by the body in response to the Epstein-Barr virus. By analyzing the levels of these antibodies, our internist can confirm whether you have an active infection or have previously been exposed to the virus. Our testing process is designed to be convenient and patient friendly. We prioritize your comfort and strive to minimize any discomfort associated with blood collection.
Once the test results are available, Dr. Abroon will interpret them and provide you with a clear explanation of the findings. If diagnosed with mononucleosis, our team will discuss appropriate treatment options and provide guidance on managing symptoms and promoting a speedy recovery.
