Mycoplasma pneumoniae nimpamvu ikunze gutera indwara zubuhumekero, cyane cyane kubana ndetse nabakuze. Bitandukanye na bagiteri zitera indwara, M. pneumoniae ibura urukuta rw'akagari, bigatuma idasanzwe kandi akenshi kuyisuzuma biragoye. Bumwe mu buryo bukomeye bwo kumenya indwara ziterwa niyi bagiteri ni ugupima antibodi za IgM.

Antibodiyite ya IgM niyo antibodi yambere yakozwe na sisitemu yumubiri isubiza infection. Iyo umuntu yanduye Mycoplasma pneumoniae, umubiri utangira gukora antibodies za IgM mugihe cyicyumweru kimwe cyangwa bibiri. Kubaho kwa antibodiyite birashobora kuba ikimenyetso cyingenzi cyubwandu bukomeye kuko bugereranya umubiri wambere wubudahangarwa bw'umubiri.

Kwipimisha antibodies za IgM kuri M. pneumoniae mubisanzwe bikorwa binyuze mugupima serologiya. Ibi bizamini bifasha gutandukanya kwandura M. pneumoniae nizindi ndwara ziterwa n'ubuhumekero, nka virusi cyangwa bagiteri zisanzwe nka Streptococcus pneumoniae. Ikizamini cyiza cya IgM kirashobora gushyigikira isuzuma ry'umusonga udasanzwe, ubusanzwe urangwa no gutangira buhoro buhoro ibimenyetso, harimo inkorora idakira, umuriro, n'indwara.

Ariko, ibisubizo bya antibody ya IgM bigomba gusobanurwa neza. Ibyiza bishobora kubaho, kandi igihe cyo kwipimisha kirakomeye. Kwipimisha hakiri kare birashobora gutanga umusaruro mubi kuko antibodies za IgM zifata igihe cyo kwiteza imbere. Kubwibyo, abaganga mubisanzwe basuzuma amateka yubuvuzi bwumurwayi nibimenyetso hamwe nibisubizo bya laboratoire kugirango basuzume neza.

Mu gusoza, kwipimisha antibodiyite ya M. pneumoniae IgM bigira uruhare runini mugupima indwara zubuhumekero. Gusobanukirwa nigisubizo cyumudugudu birashobora gufasha abashinzwe ubuvuzi gutanga ubuvuzi bwihuse kandi bukwiye, amaherezo bikazamura umusaruro wabarwayi. Mugihe ubushakashatsi bukomeje, dushobora kuvumbura byinshi kubyerekeye uruhare izo antibodies zigira mukurwanya indwara zubuhumekero.
