Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG Antibody Test

The Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG Antibody Test measures IgG antibodies to M. pneumoniae, the bacterium responsible for atypical or “walking” pneumonia. Elevated IgG levels indicate prior infection or past exposure, helping distinguish recent illness from long-term immunity. This test aids in evaluating respiratory conditions, guiding diagnosis of atypical pneumonia, and supporting differentiation from viral or bacterial lung infections.
