Mononucleosis, commonly referred to as “mono” or the “kissing disease,” is a viral infection that often causes prolonged fatigue, fever, and a sore throat. Mono is most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and can affect people of all ages, though it’s more prevalent in teenagers and young adults. At Get Well Urgent Care, we offer quick and accurate mono testing to help you get the diagnosis and treatment you need.
Mono symptoms can mimic other illnesses, making it important to test for an accurate diagnosis. Common symptoms of mono include:
If you’ve been experiencing these symptoms for more than a week or they’re worsening, it’s a good idea to get tested for mono to confirm whether you have the virus.
Mono is diagnosed through a blood test that detects antibodies to the virus. At Get Well Urgent Care, we offer rapid mono testing that provides fast results. The test involves a small blood sample, and results are typically available the same day, helping you get answers and start a treatment plan as soon as possible.
If you’re feeling rundown and suspect you might have mono, don’t wait. Walk in or check in online at any of our Detroit Metro Area locations to get tested and start your recovery.
