PneumoSlide IgM IFA Test – Comprehensive Respiratory Infection Detection
Understanding the PneumoSlide IgM IFA Test
The PneumoSlide IgM IFA Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic solution for identifying acute respiratory infections through advanced immunofluorescence technology. This comprehensive panel specifically detects IgM antibodies, which are the first-line immune response markers that appear early in infection, making it exceptionally valuable for timely diagnosis and treatment initiation.
What Does the Test Measure?
This sophisticated diagnostic panel simultaneously detects IgM antibodies against nine critical respiratory pathogens:
- Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 – Causes Legionnaires’ disease
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae – Responsible for atypical pneumonia
- Coxiella burnetti – Causes Q fever
- Chlamydophila pneumoniae – Associated with respiratory infections
- Adenovirus – Common cause of respiratory illnesses
- Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) – Particularly dangerous for infants and elderly
- Influenza A & B – Seasonal flu viruses
- Parainfluenza serotypes 1, 2 & 3 – Causes croup and other respiratory conditions
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing persistent respiratory symptoms including:
- Persistent cough lasting more than one week
- High fever with respiratory distress
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chest pain accompanying respiratory symptoms
- Fatigue and body aches with respiratory involvement
- Patients not responding to initial antibiotic therapy
- Individuals with compromised immune systems
- Healthcare workers with respiratory symptoms

Understanding Your Test Results
Your PneumoSlide IgM IFA Test results will be interpreted by our expert physicians and chest specialists:
Positive Results
A positive result indicates recent or active infection with the specific pathogen detected. Your physician will:
- Provide targeted treatment based on the identified pathogen
- Recommend appropriate antimicrobial therapy
- Suggest isolation precautions if necessary
- Monitor for potential complications
Negative Results
Negative results suggest no recent infection with the tested pathogens. However, your physician may consider:
- Testing for other respiratory pathogens not included in this panel
- Evaluating for non-infectious causes of symptoms
- Repeat testing if symptoms persist
Borderline Results
Inconclusive results may require:
- Repeat testing in 1-2 weeks
- Additional diagnostic investigations
- Clinical correlation with symptoms
