"This information, together with information on resistance patterns to guide antibiotic choice, will inform recommendations on how to test for and manage MG infection".
We concluded that the PCR constructed by us had a high probability for confirming a diagnosis of M. pneumoniae pneumonia and for guiding antibiotic choice for patients not yet treated.
Antibiotic choice is varied and may be institutionally dependent.
For empirical antibiotic choice, therapeutic target [20 30 μg/ml] is probably enough and more careful.
Their case series spanned 21 years, and they had no consistency in antibiotic choice or duration (2 8 weeks).
This approach certainly improves adequate initial antibiotic choice, but again shares the same concerns with risk scores being non-specific and broad.
