About the test
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.
Who might consider it:
This test is suitable for individuals showing symptoms of pneumonia but who may still be able to carry on with their daily activities. It's particularly useful for diagnosing "walking" or "atypical" pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
