I've found a few pages that say the monospot test can stay positive for up to 12 months after infection in up to 30-40% of patients. Other pages say it's rare after 4 months. So, anyway, a postitive monospot alone certainly isn't enough to assume chronic EVB infection.
I think it's time to stop consulting Dr. Google and just wait to see what the infectious disease specialist has to say.
Hugs . . . and more hugs.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I'd be a little wary of Dr. Google. I don't think his credentials are quite up to par. :)
ReplyDeleteSleep well.
Dr. Google is a great way to help keep our knowledge up to par so that when we go talk to doctors we can ask intelligent questions. I think your research was a good thing, but your doctor visit is also a good thing. I had Mono many years ago and was quite sick. I know what you're going through. Take care and I hope you get lots of rest.
