[Serum immunoglobulin in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection].
The dynamics and nature of serum antibodies in experimental and natural M. pneumoniae infection have been studied. The synthesis of specific IgM, IgA and IgG has been found to occur in the course of infection. During repeated M. pneumoniae infection in guinea pigs, as well as in cases of acute and chronic mycoplasmal pneumonia in humans (at the acute period of the disease), the prevalence of the synthesis of specific IgM is observed. At the acute period of the disease a rise in the quantitative levels of IgM and IgG occurs in patients. High titers of specific IgM (1:32 and greater) determined at the acute period of the disease can serve as the diagnostic criterion of the mycoplasmal etiology of pneumonia.
