Product Background

M. pneumoniae is the most common cause of primary atypical pneumonia and febrile upper respiratory tract infections in the world. The involvement of other organ systems may occur with mild-to life-threatening consequences. M. pneumoniae has a peak incidence in individuals 5 to 15 years of age and accounts for as much as 50% of all pneumonias observed among children and young adults. The incubation period is 2-3 weeks and infection occurs throughout the year; though it is seen more frequently in the fall and winter months. Antibiotics (i.e., tetracycline and erythromycin) are used to treat mycoplasmal pneumonia. Without treatment, the symptoms may decline but the organism persists. Frequently the inflflammatory response recurs, occasionally with extrapulmonary complications.

Intended use

This kit is used to qualitatively detect the existence of M. pneumoniae-IgG/IgM antibodies in serum or plasma sample, as an auxiliary clinical diagnostic reagent of (Mycoplasma Pneumoniae) Cpn infection in early stage.

Operation steps and result interpretation

IgG POSITIVE:Two distinct colored lines appear. One color line should be in the control region (C) and another color line should be in the test region IgG.

IgM POSITIVE:Two distinct colored lines appear. One color line should be in the control region (C) and another color line should be in the test region IgM.

IgG AND IgM POSITIVE:One color line should be in the control region (C), and two colored lines should appear in test line regions IgG and IgM.

*NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region(s) (IgG and/or IgM) will vary depending on the concentration of Chlamydia Pneumoniae antibodies in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region(s) (IgG and/or IgM) should be considered positive.

NEGATIVE: The colored line in the control line region (C). No line appears in test line regions IgG or IgM (IgG or IgM).

INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insuffiffifficient buffffer volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the procedure with a new test device. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
