Do serological tests provide adequate rapid diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection?
This study was designed to evaluate the serologic response to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. A total of 589 children < or =18 years (190 in the year 2004; 399 in 2005) and 2,073 adults > or = 18 years of age (980 in the year 2004; 1,093 in 2005) with respiratory symptoms underwent serological testing for M. pneumoniae infection.

متن کاملSerological diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by enzyme immunoassay.
Antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen obtained by Tween-ether treatment from purified M. pneumoniae were measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Paired sera from 19 patients with pneumonia and from 13 patients with acute pancreatitis with a significant rise in complement fixing antibodies against M. pneumoniae were studied. Single sera from healthy 1-year-old ...
