I-Mycoplasma pneumoniae iyimbangela evamile yezifo zokuphefumula, ikakhulukazi ezinganeni nakubantu abadala. Ngokungafani namagciwane avamile ebhaktheriya, i-M. pneumoniae ayinabo udonga lweseli, okuyenza ihluke futhi kuvame ukuba nzima ukuyixilonga. Enye yezindlela eziphumelela kakhulu zokuhlonza izifo ezibangelwa yileli gciwane ukuhlola amasosha omzimba e-IgM.

Amasosha omzimba e-IgM angamasosha omzimba okuqala akhiqizwa amasosha omzimba ukuphendula ukutheleleka. Lapho umuntu etheleleke nge-Mycoplasma pneumoniae, umzimba uqala ukukhiqiza amasosha omzimba e-IgM phakathi nesonto noma amabili. Ukuba khona kwalamasosha omzimba kungaba inkomba ebalulekile yokutheleleka okusebenzayo ngoba amele ukusabela kokuqala komzimba komzimba.

Ukuhlolwa kwamasosha omzimba e-IgM ku-M. pneumoniae ngokuvamile kwenziwa ngokuhlolwa kwe-serological. Lokhu kuhlola kusiza ukuhlukanisa ukutheleleka kwe-M. pneumoniae kwamanye amagciwane okuphefumula, njengamagciwane noma amagciwane avamile njenge-Streptococcus pneumoniae. Ukuhlolwa okuhle kwe-IgM kungasekela ukuhlonzwa kwenyumoniya engavamile, ngokuvamile ebonakala ngokuqala kancane kancane kwezimpawu, okuhlanganisa ukukhwehlela okungapheli, umkhuhlane, kanye nokungalungi.

Nokho, imiphumela ye-antibody ye-IgM kufanele ihunyushwe ngokucophelela. Amanga angenzeka, futhi isikhathi sokuhlolwa sibalulekile. Ukuhlola kusenesikhathi kungaveza umphumela ongemuhle ngoba amasosha omzimba e-IgM athatha isikhathi ukukhula. Ngakho-ke, odokotela ngokuvamile bacabangela umlando womtholampilo wesiguli kanye nezimpawu kanye nemiphumela yaselabhorethri ukuze benze ukuxilongwa okunembile.

Sengiphetha, ukuhlola amasosha omzimba e-M. pneumoniae IgM kudlala indima ebalulekile ekuxilongeni izifo zokuphefumula. Ukuqonda le mpendulo yokuzivikela komzimba kungasiza abahlinzeki bezempilo ukuthi banikeze ukwelashwa okufika ngesikhathi futhi okufanele, ekugcineni kuthuthukise imiphumela yesiguli. Njengoba ucwaningo luqhubeka, singathola okwengeziwe mayelana nendima edlalwa la masosha omzimba ekulweni nezifo zokuphefumula.
