Glandular Fever Diagnostic Test - Infectious Mononucleosis (Monospot) Test

The Monospot test is a rapid, qualitative agglutination test that detects heterophile antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are produced as an immune response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the leading cause of glandular fever. It is a rapid and useful test for initial screening.
