Diagnostic Accuracy of Serological Tests for <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</i> Infections in Children with Pneumonia, Based on Symptom Onset
The time post-symptom onset significantly influenced the diagnostic utility of serological tests for pediatric MPP, which showed limited value during the early stage of illness. These findings emphasize the importance of symptom onset-based interpretation of serological test results and their utility in complementing PCR when optimizing MPP diagnosis in children.
