Serology is a branch of diagnostic testing that detects antibodies and antigens in the blood, helping identify infections and immune responses to various diseases. By analyzing the body’s immune reaction, serology tests can detect conditions such as viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, as well as autoimmune disorders. Patients should choose serology testing when there is a need to diagnose infections, monitor immune system health, or confirm immunity after vaccination.

 

When to Choose Serology:
 

• Detecting viral infections like HIV, Hepatitis, or COVID-19

 

• Diagnosing bacterial infections like syphilis or Lyme disease

 

• Monitoring autoimmune diseases

 

• Assessing immunity after vaccination

 

• Investigating unexplained fevers or immune-related conditions
