Possible Influence of Antibiotic Therapy on Usefulness of Metabolic Inhibition Test for Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infections

Smith, Thomas F.
RESUMO
Certain antibiotics, if in serum, simulate specific antibody in the metabolic inhibition test for diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. This effect is not eliminated by presence of serum or heat treatment.
