About Infectious Disease Testing in Livermore
Infectious disease testing encompasses a broad category of assays rather than a single test.
Depending on the suspected organism, a specimen may be collected from blood, urine, saliva, respiratory secretions, stool, or a swab of a specific site. The sample is then processed using techniques such as nucleic acid amplification, antigen detection, culture, or serology.
Nucleic acid and antigen tests generally look for the pathogen itself and are often used when an active infection is suspected. Serology measures antibodies produced by the host, which can indicate prior exposure or vaccination status. Each approach has a different window of detection after exposure.
Results are typically reported within one to three business days, though the exact timing depends on the organism and the method used. Preparation is usually minimal, and following the lab's instructions helps ensure the specimen is collected and handled correctly.
