What is Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG (Quantitative)?

This blood test measures the specific amount (quantitative) of IgG antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae. IgG antibodies develop later in an infection and can indicate a past infection or long-term immunity to this common cause of "walking pneumonia."

Why is this test important?

A quantitative IgG test helps assess past exposure or immunity to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Rising IgG levels in paired samples can also indicate a recent infection, aiding in the diagnosis of atypical pneumonia and guiding treatment decisions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
