Order Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine)Mycoplasma tests examine blood and urine for evidence of infection with Mycoplasma species, a group of very small bacteria that lack a cell wall. Because these organisms can affect the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and other sites, laboratory testing helps clarify whether symptoms are consistent with a mycoplasma infection rather than another cause.
About Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine) in Orange
Mycoplasma testing combines direct detection methods with indirect antibody assessment, depending on the specimen and the clinical question.
Blood testing commonly measures antibodies produced by the immune system in response to Mycoplasma species, particularly Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) are the antibody classes most often evaluated. IgM tends to appear earlier in an infection, while IgG generally rises later and can persist. A single result is interpreted alongside the pattern of symptoms and, when available, a second sample collected later to look for a change in antibody levels.
Urine testing may be used to detect mycoplasma genetic material, most often for species associated with genitourinary tract infections, such as Mycoplasma genitalium. Nucleic acid amplification testing, or NAAT, identifies specific DNA or RNA sequences and is valued for its sensitivity and specificity. Blood specimens can also be tested by NAAT in select situations.
Results are reported according to the method used. Antibody tests typically give a numeric titer or an index value with a reference range, while NAAT results are usually reported as positive or negative for the target organism. Because no single test answers every question, clinicians interpret laboratory findings together with the person's history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information.
