Re: Labs that perform mycoplasma testing

[Guest guest]

Hi, My doctor told me to go to Quest Labs. They seem pretty reliable. The

first time they found I was positive for Mycoplasma Pneumoniae. The next time

they found positive Micoplasma Pneumoniae antibodies and then this last time,

they found more Micoplasma Pneumoniae. Next time, I am going to ask them to

test for Clamydia Pneumoniae. There are so many kinds. I don't know the names

of any specific tests, but now that you've brought it up, I will inquire. Thank

you, Dolores & Mike

I do know about the TARCI test in Gaithersburg, MD. I believe there

are also other labs, but I don't know names, or have any reputation

information for them.

Please forgive any dumb questions. I've read books, done some

research, understand some basics, but I'm still very ignorant about so

much.

Hi & thank you for your reply. Maybe not the same thing, but I

received a list from MycoplasmaRegistry ( group) which was very

good.

My question was because I was reading from other groups that TARCI was

the *only* lab for reliable testing because of the way they conduct the

test (ELISA based & it takes several weeks to complete the test).

I guess I was putting out the question to learn of any varying opinions

for reputation. I had the TARCI test (positive), but my doctor would

like a retest somewhere else. I will probably use Quest or Lab Corp.

.... but it's just that I've had some brainwashing that the regular labs

are notorious for giving false negatives.

My doctor wanted to have my insurance pay for the

test. I have to say the lab technicians were confused

with the order, but in the end my Mycoplasma results

came back high.

the Mycoplasma IgG AB (eia) was greater than 1.10

(actual result was 2.28).

The lab could not perform all of the mycoplasma tests

the doctor wanted to do, but of those at least one

came back positive and explained why I have been so

sick for so long.
