Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG antibodies

The bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae is spread by airborne droplets and infects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. These infections can be the cause of pharyngitis, laryngitis and sinusitis. A dry, hacking cough is the most common symptom of these infections. Not everyone who has mycoplasma and chlamydia in their nasopharynx gets sick - it depends on the body's resistance, but they can still infect others.

Antibodies appear in the blood later than IgM antibodies - 3-4 weeks after infection. In case of repeated infection, IgG antibodies are produced.
