What is Serology?

Serology is a specific type of blood test that looks for antibodies or other vital markers in your bloodstream. While dermatologists primarily focus on the surface of your skin, many persistent or unusual skin conditions are actually symptoms of internal health issues.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we utilize serology testing to look beneath the surface and investigate the root causes of complex skin problems. This advanced testing is essential for accurately diagnosing underlying autoimmune diseases, systemic infections, or severe allergies that cannot be confirmed through a physical examination alone.

How does Serology work?

If your dermatologist suspects that an internal factor is driving your skin condition, they will recommend a serology test. A small, routine blood sample is carefully drawn in a safe and comfortable clinical setting. This sample is then securely sent to a specialized medical laboratory, where technicians analyze it for specific immune system responses.

Once the detailed results are returned to our clinic, your dermatologist will review them with you thoroughly. These precise, science-backed findings allow our medical team to create a highly targeted treatment plan that addresses the true source of your skin concerns.

Need clarity on a complex or stubborn skin condition?

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
