Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM) details
What Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM) shows
This antibody indicates a recent or currently active Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, the bacterium responsible for 'walking pneumonia,' a typically mild-to-moderate respiratory illness. IgM antibodies rise relatively early in the course of infection, making this test useful for identifying a current or recent case, particularly in someone with a prolonged cough or other respiratory symptoms where this less common cause of pneumonia is being considered.
Tests that include Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM)
This test looks for antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a tiny organism that causes about 10-20% of all pneumonia cases. These types of pneumonia, often called "walking" or "atypical" pneumonia, can affect healthy people, making it important to identify.
- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM) An antibody indicating a recent or current Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection ('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.
- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) An antibody indicating past exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common cause of 'walking pneumonia.'
- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM) An antibody indicating a recent or current Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection ('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.
- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) An antibody indicating past exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common cause of 'walking pneumonia.'
