About the Test
This test measures IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which usually rise early in infection with this common cause of atypical or walking pneumonia. A positive IgM supports a recent infection in someone with a persistent cough, fever or chest symptoms. It is often ordered together with IgG to help judge the timing and likelihood of active infection.
What is it? A blood test measuring IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, indicating recent infection.
