Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection is associated with the emergence of anti-I cold agglutinins of IgM isotype, rarely complicated by hemolytic anemia. The mechanism by which the autoimmune disease occurs is still considerably controversed. We describe here a case of MP infection complicated by severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia with monoclonal anti-I IgM. IgM anti-I antibodies were purified by adsorption-elution on OI+ red cells. The red blood cell antibodies were found to be tightly associated with IgG and anti-MP specificity probably as immune complexes. The significance of these results is discussed.

D011019 Pneumonia, Mycoplasma Interstitial pneumonia caused by extensive infection of the lungs (LUNG) and BRONCHI, particularly the lower lobes of the lungs, by MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE in humans. In SHEEP, it is caused by MYCOPLASMA OVIPNEUMONIAE. In CATTLE, it may be caused by MYCOPLASMA DISPAR.

D003298 Coombs Test A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.
