Immune responses in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections.
All children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection showed a significant response in IgG immunofluorescent (IMF) antibody titers, which were similar to that of complement-fixing (CF) antibody titers. However, there was a certain degree of variation in IgM IMF antibody response and its persistence. This variation also occurred in cases with pre-existing specific antibodies and good CF and IgG IMF ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is one of the smallest free-living bacteria known. Along with other unique characteristics of this genus, it lacks the typical peptidoglycan cell wall of most eubacteria. Best known for causing tracheobronchitis and atypical pneumonia in humans, this pathogen also causes a number of extrapulmonary syndromes such as meningitis/encephalitis and arthritis. Rec...
متن کاملImmune Response in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infection 339
Several investigators have demonstrated a sequential synthesis of 19 S and 7 S antibodies upon antigenic stimulation; commonly there is a transient early 19 S response followed subsequently by 7 S production (1-6). The nature of the antigen, however, can influence the kinetics of the 19 S and 7 S antibody response. Thus, certain polysaccharide antigens are known to induce a long lasting 19 S an...
متن کاملUnusual manifestations of infections due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) is an important cause of pneumonia in paediatric age, but also other organs or systems can be affected even without pulmonary involvement. The purpose of this study is to stress the unusual clinical features of Mp infection in children. A review of children affected with Mp infection with peculiar pulmonary and/or extra-pulmonary forms is reported. Diagnosis of Mp inf...
متن کاملNew concepts of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in children.
The year 2002 marked the fortieth anniversary of the first published report describing the isolation and characterization of Mycoplasma pneumoniae as the etiologic agent of primary atypical pneumonia by Chanock et al. Lack of understanding regarding the basic biology of mycoplasmas and the inability to readily detect them in persons with respiratory disease has led to many misunderstandings abo...
