Final answer:

Infectious mononucleosis is diagnosed through the detection of specific antibodies in the blood, with the Monospot test being a commonly used laboratory test for diagnosis.


Explanation:

Infectious mononucleosis (IM), commonly known as the 'kissing disease,' is diagnosed through the detection of specific antibodies in the blood. One of the laboratory tests used to diagnose infectious mononucleosis is the Monospot test, which detects 'heterophile' antibodies produced in response to the Epstein-Barr virus. These antibodies cause red blood cell clumping through hemagglutination, allowing for visual detection.
