MuSK (MUSCLE SPECIFIC KINASE) ANTIBODY
This blood test detects antibodies against Muscle Specific Kinase (MuSK), a protein crucial for nerve-muscle communication. The presence of these antibodies is often associated with a specific form of myasthenia gravis.
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) Qualitative by Realtime PCR
This test uses Realtime PCR technology to detect the genetic material (DNA) of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, the bacteria causing tuberculosis. It's a highly sensitive method to identify the presence of the bacteria in a blood sample.
Mycoplasma genitalium PCR
This test detects the DNA of Mycoplasma genitalium, a bacterium that can cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It's used to identify an active infection, especially when symptoms like painful urination or unusual discharge are present.
Mycoplasma hominis PCR
This test identifies the DNA of Mycoplasma hominis, a type of bacteria commonly found in the genitourinary tract. It helps determine if this bacterium is causing an infection, particularly when symptoms are present or other causes have been ruled out.
Mycoplasma IgG/IgM (Qualitative)
This blood test checks for the presence of two types of antibodies, IgG and IgM, against Mycoplasma bacteria. IgM antibodies suggest a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies indicate a past infection or immunity.
Mycoplasma IgM - Qualitative
This blood test specifically looks for IgM antibodies against Mycoplasma bacteria. The presence of IgM antibodies usually indicates a recent or active infection, as these are the first antibodies produced by your body in response to a new infection.
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgA (Quantitative)
This blood test measures the amount of IgA antibodies your body produces in response to a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common bacterium that can cause respiratory tract infections, often referred to as "walking pneumonia."
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."
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM (Quantitative)
This blood test measures the amount of IgM antibodies your body produces in response to a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. IgM antibodies typically appear early in an infection, helping to identify a recent or active illness. It's a key tool for diagnosing "walking pneumonia" and other respiratory issues.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae PCR
This PCR test detects the genetic material (DNA) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae directly from a swab sample. It's a highly sensitive and specific method to confirm an active infection, often used for respiratory symptoms like persistent cough or pneumonia.
Mycoplasma Spp. Culture - HVS
This test involves culturing a High Vaginal Swab (HVS) to identify the presence of Mycoplasma species, such as Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum. These bacteria can sometimes cause urogenital infections or complications in women.
Mycoplasma Spp. Culture - Urine
This test involves culturing a urine sample to detect the presence of Mycoplasma species, such as Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum. These bacteria can sometimes cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) or other urogenital issues in both men and women.
