Honestly about the possibilities
Carriage of ureaplasma is widespread, the majority have antibodies: serology has no diagnostic value for “treating/not treating”. If the test has already been taken and is “positive”, it is not a disease; route - quantitative assessment (Florocenosis-Mycoplasma) and clinic. We save the test for completeness, and assign it rarely.
When is it appointed?
- pregnancy planning - TORCH status;
- pregnancy - screening and clarification of doubtful results;
- decision to vaccinate against rubella;
- lymphadenopathy, prolonged low-grade fever - etiology;
- clarification of the stage of infection (avidity).
Reading antibodies correctly
IgM is a marker of a fresh infection (but often “phonitis” is false), IgG is immune memory and protection. For pregnancy, the ideal profile is “IgG+, IgM−” (there is immunity, there is no risk); “IgG−, IgM−” means vulnerability (rubella - vaccination BEFORE conception!); “IgM+” requires clarification by IgG avidity: high avidity = long-standing infection, no danger. A competent interpretation saves you from unnecessary fears and interventions - the clinic doctor will analyze your profile.
