About Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine) in Springfield
Mycoplasma testing helps diagnose infections caused by Mycoplasma species, which lack a cell wall and are not visible on Gram stain.
Mycoplasma species, such as M. pneumoniae and M. genitalium, can cause respiratory or urogenital infections. Blood tests typically detect antibodies produced in response to infection, while urine tests may use nucleic acid amplification to identify bacterial DNA.
Blood testing for Mycoplasma often involves serology to measure IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM levels may rise early in infection, while IgG can indicate past or current exposure. Urine testing is commonly used for M. genitalium and other urogenital Mycoplasma species.
Results are reported as positive or negative, or with titers for antibody tests. A positive result suggests infection, but clinical correlation is needed. Turnaround time is typically 1-3 business days, and preparation follows the lab's instructions.
