Test Overview & Methodology
The Mycoplasma Species RNA Qualitative Test employs Real-Time PCR (qPCR) to detect active Mycoplasma pneumoniae RNA in bronchoalveolar lavage, throat swabs, endocervical swabs, blood, urine, CSF, serum, or plasma. It provides definitive evidence of current infection, distinguishing carriage from clinical disease with 99.9% sensitivity.
| Feature | Our Real-Time PCR Test | Antibody Serology (IgM/IgG) |

| Turnaround Time | 24h (phone) / 36h (email) | 2–5 days |
| Sensitivity | 99.9% | 70–90% in acute phase |
| Methodology | Real-Time PCR (qPCR) – DHA/MOHAP Standard | ELISA / CLIA |
| Clinical Utility | Confirm active disease, guide immediate therapy | Epidemiological surveys, retrospective diagnosis |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh – General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132
"Mycoplasma RNA detection is crucial for confirming active infection and guiding appropriate antibiotic therapy. The assay's high sensitivity allows early diagnosis, but clinical correlation remains essential. Inadequate specimen collection can yield false negatives; always interpret results alongside a thorough history and physical examination."
Advisory Notice
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. A positive result does not replace the need for a comprehensive clinical evaluation.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test is not indicated for asymptomatic individuals without known exposure.
- Patients with known bleeding disorders or anticoagulant therapy must inform the phlebotomist prior to blood collection.
- Throat swabs should be avoided in patients with recent tonsillar surgery or active bleeding.
Seek immediate emergency care if you experience severe shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, or cyanosis after sample collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the turnaround time for Mycoplasma RNA test results?
Results are available within 24 hours by phone and 36 hours by email, ensuring rapid clinical decision-making.
2. Can I have the specimen collected at home?
Yes, our ISO-certified phlebotomy team provides home collection for blood, throat swabs, and urine from 8 AM to 11 PM daily with strict cold-chain protocol. For bronchoalveolar lavage or cerebrospinal fluid, collection must occur at a hospital facility.
3. What does a positive Mycoplasma RNA result mean for my health?
A positive result indicates active Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection requiring antibiotic therapy guided by a physician. Early treatment reduces complications such as pneumonia and respiratory distress.
