Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) details
What Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) shows
This antibody indicates past exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common bacterium responsible for a type of mild-to-moderate respiratory infection sometimes called 'walking pneumonia,' since people often remain active despite having pneumonia. Because IgG antibodies persist long after infection clears, a positive result mainly reflects past exposure at some point rather than a current, active infection — for identifying a recent or ongoing infection, IgM antibodies or direct detection methods are more useful.
Tests that include Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG)
This test checks for antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common cause of pneumonia. Mycoplasma are tiny organisms that can lead to pneumonia in healthy people, often called "walking" or "atypical" pneumonia because it's milder than other types.
- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) An antibody indicating past exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common cause of 'walking pneumonia.'
This test detects IgG and IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It aids in the diagnosis of atypical pneumonia, a cause of community-acquired pneumonia.
