About this item

The Alethia Mycoplasma Direct DNA amplification assay, performed on the Alethia Reader, is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of DNA from Mycoplasma pneumoniae in human throat swabs obtained from patients suspected of having Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

  • Improve patient outcomes by reducing the chance of a missed positive and minimizing risk of spreading the disease
  • Alethia Mycoplasma direct can deliver targeted detection so physicians can treat patients appropriately
  • Definitive diagnosis of Mycoplasma cannot be made on the basis of image alone
  • A combination of clinical and radiographical findings can significantly improve accuracy of disease diagnosis
  • Chest X-rays may be negative, particularly in patients presenting in early disease course and among the elderly
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae is often difficult to recognize on X-rays
