Intended Use
SeroMP™ Recombinant IgA kit is a semi-quantitative
Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the
determination of species specific IgA antibodies to
Mycoplasma pneumoniae in human serum.
Savyon® SeroMP™ Recombinant IgA kit is used as an aid in
the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
Introduction
M. pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired
pneumonia, often characterized by gradual onset of
headache, fever, malaise and, most typically, dry cough. M.
pneumoniae is common in all age groups, however, it is
most common in the first two decades of life and is rare in
children under the age of four. It has been reported as the
cause of up to 30% of all pneumonia cases (2).
M. pneumoniae has also been associated with non
respiratory diseases as meningitis, encephalitis, pancreatitis,
sensorineural hearing loss, and acute brainstem syndrome
(5).
Due to its common occurrence, one should consider M.
pneumoniae in all cases of pneumonia, but being the same
symptoms for different agents, additional diagnostic tools,
such as serological tests, are required (3).
The ELISA technique is sensitive, specific and enables a
differential determination of specific IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies (6).
