Sterling Accuris offers the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM Test in Mehsana to identify the existence of an acute infection by Mycoplasma
Overview of the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM Test
Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a tiny bacterium, spreads through droplets from infected persons and leads to upper respiratory tract infections, pharyngitis, and tracheobronchitis, particularly among children. This pathogen is responsible for nearly 20% of community-acquired pneumonia cases. A positive IgM antibody outcome corresponds to a recent infection, indicating that IgM antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae are present.
Why and When is the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM Test Done?
Testing for mycoplasma pneumonia may be suggested if someone is experiencing serious breathing problems that are not connected to a usual bacterial illness. Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM tests are typically carried out when a doctor detects that a patient has an existing M. pneumoniae infection, and a test may be carried out 2-4 weeks later to show that antibody levels have increased as a reaction to a virus.
The following are the symptoms of a typical mycoplasma pneumonia infection:
-
Fever
-
Throat discomfort
-
Feeling exhausted
-
Cough that gets worse over time and might persist for weeks or even months
-
Shortness of breath
-
Sneezing
-
Stuffy nose
-
Vomiting

How to Interpret the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM Test Results?
A positive test outcome suggests an acute Mycoplasma pneumonia infection.
It typically takes around a week for IgM antibodies to develop, but the IgM response can vary in adults or be reduced in those with weakened immune systems. To confirm the presence of a disease, a 4-fold increase in IgM antibody titers needs to be observed between acute and convalescent samples, which may occur weeks after the initial onset of illness.
A negative IgM test indicates no presence of mycoplasma pneumoniae.
FAQs
How long do Mycoplasma IgM antibodies remain in the body?
People with recently acquired infections are typically found to have IgM antibodies to M. pneumoniae, and these types of antibodies might last for long periods of time that is 2 to 12 months.
Can one develop immunity to mycoplasma pneumonia?
Following a mycoplasma illness, immunity does develop, however it does not remain permanent. Despite the fact that it could be less severe, recurrent infections have been observed to happen. The test can also be utilised to identify recurrence and assess the efficacy of the current course of therapy.
Can a mycoplasma infection be detected any other way?
Employing real-time PCR provides a swift and perceptive alternative for identifying M. pneumoniae DNA from medical samples. Consequently, this fosters the diagnosis of present or immediate infection.
