I just had some lab testing done which showed Mycoplasma IGG to be positive, but not IGM. In what I'm reading it seems like that indicates past exposure, but not a current infection?
My immunoglobin G, serum was slightly elevated as well. Anyone know what this means??

- web search: Garth Nicholson, PhD -- find his site - immd. or something like that. Also cross search him at ilads website. He's the top researcher for mycoplasma. -

We are in the same bag: My Mycoplasma IGG is through the roof while the IGM is normal. Two versions: 1) Even though only the IGG is positive, the infection is current… 2) If you test anyone for Mycoplasma, everybody's IGG will be above normal… Which one are we supposed to believe?

From Burrascano:
"Frequent exposures to Mycoplasmas are common, resulting in a high prevalence of seropositivity, so the best way to confirm active infection is by PCR." (page 5)
