M. pneumoniae testing may be ordered when someone has severe respiratory symptoms that are not due to a typical bacterial infection, such as pneumococcal pneumonia.
Testing may be done when an infection spreads to the lower respiratory tract, causing "walking pneumonia," and/or spreads to other parts of the body and causes complications such as rash, arthritis, encephalitis, inflammation of the heart muscle or the lining that surrounds the heart or hemolytic anemia, and when a person is not responding to standard treatments. It may also be ordered to help track and control the spread of M. pneumoniae infections during an outbreak.
