Mycoplasma PCR testing, UNEVX lab

[Christianmom]

I was checking into PCR testing for mycoplasma pneumoniae through the UNEVX lab as suggested by Garth Nicholson (on his website under "frequently asked questions"). The test is very expensive--about $400, but I think only $250 if you just check for mycoplasma pneumoniae and not the other types of mycoplasma (I believe the LabCorp mycoplasma test is only checking for mycoplasma pneumoniae). I am only considering it because my son has a positive IgG but negative IgM on the LabCorp test.

 

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has done this test through them. They claim it is DEFINITIVE evidence of an active mycoplasma infection--no false positive or negatives with this test.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have already spoken with Garth Nicholson and realize that a positive IgG can point to chronic mycoplasma even without a positive IgM. I was just wondering who might have gone the extra step to have this test run. And did you feel it was worth it? Thank you.
