Yes it can. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
The live attenuated influenza vaccine viruses in LAIV (seasonal vaccine and 2009 H1N1 monovalent vaccine) can cause a positive result on a rapid influenza diagnostic test. The tests are designed to detect influenza viruses and cannot differentiate between live attenuated and wild-type influenza viruses. A positive test in a person who recently (in the previous 7 days) received LAIV and who also has an influenza-like illness could be caused by either LAIV or wild-type influenza virus.

Should you get the flu shot if you have mono?
Typically, if you have a fever or any other sign of infection you should not get the flu shot. Wait until you are fever free [without using fever reducing medication]. Ask the doctor treating the mono what he recommends about the flu. I have had mono for the last three months, I was just starting to recover when my doctor gave me a flu shot. By the next day I was so sick I had to be driven home from work, still sick. Don't do it!
Can you have mononucleosis and the flu at the same time?
Yes, in fact sometimes the flu causes laryngitis. Laryngitis is a symptom of the inflammation of the vocal cords and can be caused by many things including the flu, a common cold, being "hoarse" from yelling, emotional stress, etc. Resting your voice and gargling with salt water often helps.

What are one of the many symptoms of Mono?
Physically, the most telling sign of mono is the rapid swelling of the lymph nodes. That is what separates it from flu and cold symptoms that the disease often mimics, which makes it hard to diagnose in some cases.
Can night time cold and flu cause a pregnancy test to be positive?
No. The test reads the hormone levels in the urine. The hormones have nothing to do with a cold/flu that is a different issue. If the hormones are there it will show positive.
If I test positive for the seasonal flu could I still have Swine Flu?
Possible but the viruses are very similar, if your body is already fighting seasonal flu chances are it will be more effective at combating swine flu anyway.
