Diagnostic serology

Diagnostic serology is a laboratory method used to detect specific antibodies or antigens in a person's blood, helping identify if they have a particular infection or disease. When your body encounters a pathogen, it produces antibodies as part of your immune response. Serology tests analyze blood samples to find these markers, providing valuable information about current or past infections. This process aids healthcare providers in diagnosing illnesses, monitoring immune responses, and guiding appropriate treatment, all through a simple blood test.
