Could my postiive mono test be because of an old strain?

Q: A few days ago I tested positive for mononucleosis after a routine blood test. I have absolutely zero symptoms. My doctor was puzzled as well, but said when the complete results come back, it could show to be an “old strain” (although, I’ve never had mono before) or a false postive. Is there a chance I could have active infectious mono with no symptoms?

A: I am confused…why did they test for mono if you had no symptoms?Was it a heterophil antibody test? Or were the tests SPECIFIC for Epstein-Barr virus?Most likely the doc did what’s called a monospot test. Many things can cause false positives…rubella, malaria, hepatitis, lupus, leukemia, or pancreatic cancer.If you really do have Epstein-Barr specific antibodies, you most likely had mono when you were a child. Mono typically produces a mild illness in children, and is often asymptomatic. However, if you have a CURRENT infection and NO symptoms, you are definitely an anomaly!I hope you find answers soon! Take care!
