Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpfulDiscusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory testDescribes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. A positive IgM antibody result is consistent with recent infection. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a very small bacterium in the class Mollicutes.It is a human pathogen that causes the disease mycoplasma pneumonia, a form of atypical bacterial pneumonia related to cold agglutinin disease. A single positive IgG result may be present in the absence of any clinical symptoms as specific IgG antibodies may remain elevated long after initial infection. It is a human pathogen that causes the disease mycoplasma pneumonia, a form of atypical bacterial pneumonia related to cold agglutinin disease. M. pneumoniae is characterized by the absence of a peptidoglycan cell wall and resulting resistance to many antibacterial agents. Abstract Specific IgM antibody production in patients with serologically proven Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by the complement fixation (CF) test was studied using a mu-capture ELISA.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM ELISA kit description: The Diagnostic Automation Mycoplasma Pneumonia IgM ELISA kit is intended for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies in human serum to Mycoplasma pneumonia antigen.

For more information see MYCO / Positive IgM results are consistent with recent infection, although false-positives may occur (see Cautions). May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate.
The effectiveness of this removal system at IgG levels exceeding 600 mg/mL has not been established.© 1995–2020 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. Specific IgM antibodies to M. pneumoniae are usually detected in people with a recent primary infection and may persist for extended periods (2-12 months) in some people. Antibiotic Treatment. Chanock told Hayflick of his research on the Eaton Agent and his belief that its virus nature was questionable.

All Rights Reserved. The inverted microscope under which Hayflick discovered In addition to evasion of host immune system by intracellular localization, The incidence of disease does not appear to be related to season or geography; however, infection tends to occur more frequently during the summer and fall months when other respiratory Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. Negative results do not rule out the presence of acute or ongoing The use of hemolytic, lipemic, bacterially contaminated, or heat-inactivated specimens should be avoided as erroneous results may occur.Assay performance characteristics have not been established for matrices other than serum.The continued presence or absence of antibodies cannot be used to determine the success or failure of therapy.Testing should not be performed as a screening procedure for the general population. Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) is a contagious respiratory infection that spreads easily through contact with respiratory fluids. Mycoplasma testing is used to determine whether someone currently has or recently had a mycoplasma infection. Most cases do not require hospitalization. 34127. For his discovery, Hayflick was presented with the Presidential Award by the International Organization of Mycoplasmology. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate.
