No, don't think so. Many of the people who develop lymphoma have had mono, but not the other way around: the vast majority with mono will not develop any lymphoma.

Thanks for this thorough explanation. I had EBV and resulting mono when I was a teen, and had non-hodgkin lymphoma in my twenties. I knew back then that my mono (which was atypically severe) was a contributor, but did not know why. Interesting read!
