Hospital treatment and diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia
Infection.
1976.
Abstract
A study was started in 1972 in order to determine the true etiology of patients who presented with obscure pulmonary infiltrates. Patients who were included in this study had sera drawn on two occasions. Complete testing was performed for the various viruses and also for Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies. The study continued through 1975 and a total of 159 patients were included. Of these 159 patients, 28 had positive complement fixation tests for M. pneumoniae antibodies. The clinical profile and treatment course is outlined and discussed.
