Abstract
A commercial enzyme immunoassay (Platelia Mycoplasma) infections was evaluated and found not to be suitable for the purpose. More than 80 % of healthy persons and patients with non-Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infection, all with a negativeMycoplasma pneumoniae complement fixation test, had a positive EIA. Paired sera did not show the positive correlation between a rise in complement fixation titre and the EIA ratio reported by the manufacturer.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
