Rapid diagnostic tests for pneumonia

The Biocard Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM and Chlamydia pneumoniae IgM tests are lateral flow cassette tests for rapid detection of pneumoniae IgM antibodies in fingertip wholeblood samples, as well as in serum and plasma samples. The tests are CE-marked, easy and quick to perform: the results are available in 5–10 minutes. Most diagnosis of C. pneumoniae is done serologically and modified microimmuno-fluorescence methods are commonly used. Other test procedures, such as enzyme immunoassays and PCR methods, are also used, but all of these methods require trained personnel and a skilled interpreter, whereas a positive Biocard test result is a simple and rapid aid for the diagnosis of acute C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae infection. A typical test pack contains: 20 aluminium pouches containing a test cassette, 20 automatic lancets for obtaining a blood sample, 1 plastic vessel containing 20 pieces of 10 μl glass capillary, 20 tubes containing 0.5 ml of sample dilution buff er, 20 alcohol swabs, and an instruction leaflet.
