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
