Abstract

With a rise in the incidence of allergic diseases and in the number of studies into the mechanisms of their occurrence, M. pneumoniae undoubtedly attracts a particular attention as a microorganism whose infection is able to simultaneously cause Th1 and Th2 types of immunological reactions. A serological survey of the patients of an allergology center could detect immunoglobulins M and G to M. pneumonia antigens.
