Immunology

Immunology laboratory tests are performed to get an idea of the condition of your immune system. If
you have been unable to fight off an infection, your doctor may order these tests to find out why.

• Immunology tests are also performed to investigate the presence of autoimmune disorders.
• An immunology test can also diagnose certain diseases, such as AIDS, after you have had other
  testing.

TYPES OF IMMUNOLOGY CLINICAL LABORATORY TESTS

There are many types of immunology tests that may be ordered. Immune globulin tests measure different types of
antibodies. These clinical studies include IgG, IgA and IgM tests. If you are being checked for autoimmune diseases, your
doctor may order specific antibody tests such as rheumatoid antibody or anti-thyroid antibodies. Infectious disease serology
tests are also part of immunology. These tests include assays for measles, mumps, rubella, toxoplasmosis, Lyme disease and
shingles.
