To diagnose such infections, doctors may use a variety of tests called immunologic tests. These tests detect one of the following: Antibodies, produced by the person's immune system in response to the microorganism. A microorganism's antigens (the molecules from the organism that trigger an immune response in the body)

Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, is used to identify changes in DNA sequence or chromosome structure. Genetic testing can also include measuring the results of genetic changes, such as RNA analysis as an output of gene expression, or through biochemical analysis to measure specific protein output.
