Mycoplasma testing

HI

Does anyone know where the best place is to get mycoplasma tested? Any help appreciated. Thanks TIM

You just need to have Mycoplasma IgG and IgM titers ran. I have not heard one way or another if one lab is preferred over another. My daughter and son are both positive for myco p and have been tested several times through different labs. Someone else may have a different experience but our experiences have been the same with both labs.....positive both times.

And, keep in mind that even if the IgG comes back high, but not the IgM, your child could still have an active infection (if thought most docs believe that it only indicates "past" infection.) DS's IgG kept coming back high, and then would double when I was exposing him (turned out I was the IgM positive.) he was still reactive to it. Good luck.
