Is Mycoplasma pneumoniae positive 1 in 80 serious

A positive score of 1:80 for Mycoplasma pneumoniae indicates recent or previous infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the severity of the disease depends on the type of positive antibody and the clinical symptoms.

The detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies can be divided into Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM antibodies and IgG antibodies.

1. IgM positive: If the titer is 1:80 at this time, it indicates that it may be in the infectious stage or has recently been infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and if there are obvious clinical symptoms, further treatment is required in combination with other laboratory results.Macrolide antibiotics are commonly used in clinical practice, such as clarithromycin, azithromycin, erythromycin, etc., and quinolone antibiotics such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin can also be used for treatment.

2. IgG positive: It usually indicates that you have been infected with mycoplasma in the past, but it may not be in the infection period at this time, and dynamic observation is generally sufficient. In some patients, if IgG is positive, the titer is high or 4-fold increased in the short term, indicating a recent infection, and further treatment is required if there are obvious clinical symptoms and CT findings, and the antibiotic selection is the same as above.

Therefore, a M. pneumoniae antibody titer of 1:80 indicates Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, which requires timely medical treatment, and further analysis and treatment decisions need to be made according to the specific situation.
