Serology

Serology

Serology is a branch of laboratory testing that focuses on detecting antibodies and antigens in your blood. These tests help determine if your body has been exposed to infections—either in the past or present—and how your immune system is responding.

At S.M. Path Lab & Hormone Centre, our serology services play a crucial role in diagnosing viral, bacterial, and autoimmune diseases. These tests are especially important for early detection, treatment planning, and preventing the spread of infections.

What Does Serology Test For?

Serology tests are commonly used to detect:

  • Hepatitis (A, B, C)

  • HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

  • Dengue, Typhoid, and Malaria

  • COVID-19 antibody testing

  • Syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

  • Autoimmune disorders (like ANA, RF)

  • TORCH panel in pregnancy (Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, CMV, etc.)

These tests look for specific antibodies (IgM and IgG) in your blood that appear when your body fights off an infection or disease.
