Mycoplasma

Serum

Mycoplasma refers to a group of bacteria that lack a cell wall and are known to cause respiratory, urogenital, and systemic infections in humans. The most well-known species, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is a common cause of atypical pneumonia and other upper respiratory tract infections.

At HealthMatters.io, we help you interpret your Mycoplasma-related lab results in a clear and actionable way—so you can better understand what your body is telling you and what to do next.

Key Mycoplasma Biomarkers We Cover:

Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM
Detects early or recent infection by measuring IgM antibodies, which are typically produced at the onset of illness.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG
Indicates past exposure or a later stage of infection. Helpful for confirming previous infection or tracking immune response.
Mycoplasma PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
Identifies the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA—considered one of the most accurate ways to detect active infection.
Mycoplasma hominis & Mycoplasma genitalium
Often tested via PCR in urogenital infections. These species are linked to urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and infertility.

Common Symptoms of Mycoplasma Infections:

Persistent dry cough
Sore throat
Mild fever
Chest discomfort
Fatigue
In urogenital infections: discharge, pelvic pain, or burning with urination

Why Mycoplasma Testing Matters:

Mycoplasma infections can be subtle but persistent, often mimicking viral illnesses. Accurate testing can:

Differentiate between bacterial and viral causes
Guide appropriate treatment (e.g., antibiotics like macrolides or tetracyclines)
Help monitor recovery or identify chronic or recurrent infections
