The Comparison of Diagnostic Methods in the Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumoniae
In our study, the respiratory secretion samples taken by Protected Bronchoalveolar Lavage (PBAL) technique were collected from patients with community-acquired pneumonia diagnosed by means of clinical, routine laboratory and chest x-ray findings. Then those materials were inoculated in the standard...

| description | In our study, the respiratory secretion samples taken by Protected Bronchoalveolar Lavage (PBAL) technique were collected from patients with community-acquired pneumonia diagnosed by means of clinical, routine laboratory and chest x-ray findings. Then those materials were inoculated in the standard aerobic media and in Pneumofast for M. pneumoniae. All patients’ sera specimens were collected and tested for cold agglutination titers and M. pneumoniae IgM by EIA. Of 60 cases with community-acquired pneumonia, 56 (93.3%) were diagnosed microbiologically. Although PBAL technique is an invasive respiratory secretion collection method, this is a suitable technique for prevention from nasopharyngeal contamination. M. pneumoniae was identified in 11 (18.3%) cases. In 4 (6.7%) cases, we weren’t able to identify any organism. Specificity of cold agglutination technique used in the diagnosis of M. pneumoniae was 91.84% and the sensitivity was 54.55%; those of EIA were 97.96% and 100%, respectively. |
