What does the Mycoplasma Test detect?

Rapid Test for Mycoplasma pneumoniae

The Mycoplasma Test is a rapid diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae in whole blood. The test is easy to perform and provides results within 10 minutes.

What does the test detect?

The test identifies antibodies that may indicate a current or recent infection:

IgM antibodies may suggest an early or active infection.
IgG antibodies may indicate a past or ongoing long-term infection.

Since the test line intensity can vary depending on the amount of antibodies in the sample, even faint color variations in the test line should be considered a positive result.

What is Mycoplasma pneumoniae?

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacterium that causes respiratory infections, sometimes referred to as "walking pneumonia," as symptoms are often milder than typical pneumonia. The infection spreads through respiratory droplets and can affect people of all ages, though it is most common in children, teenagers, and young adults.

Symptoms of Mycoplasma infection

Symptoms can range from mild to more severe and may include:

Persistent dry cough
Fever and headache
Muscle pain and fatigue
Sore throat and hoarseness
In some cases, pneumonia

The test is CE-certified for professional use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
