Abstract:
Detection of mycoplasma pneumoniae infections is essential to diagnosis and initiate appropriate antibiotic therapy.Laboratory detection of mycoplasma pneumoniae includes culture, nonamplified antigen detection, molecular-based methods(detection of DNA and RNA), serology and other new diagnostic methods.These relative methods, advantages, limitations and clinical utility are summarized in this review.
