  1. mNGS Metagenomic Next-generation sequencing, CT Conventional technology, GICT immune colloidal gold technigue, PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction, PA particle agglutination, MP Mycoplasma, MP infection can be confirmed when serum MP-Ab ≥ 1:160 is used as an indicator of recent infection, or MP-Ab is 4 times higher or lower in recovery and acute stage. Single detection of MP-IgM positive by GICT is valuable for the diagnosis of MP infection
