  • Title: A serological investigation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection on the Witwatersrand.
    Author: Joosting AC, Harwin RM, Coppin A, Battaglia P, van der Hoef P.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1976 Dec 18; 50(54):2134-5. PubMed ID: 1006493.
    Abstract:
    Sera from patients with respiratory disease were examined for antibody to Mycoplasma pneumoniae by complement fixation test. During the study period of about 6 years, a 3-year cycle of infection was observed, which coincided with some epidemics in the UK and USA, suggesting the possibility of an approximately simultaneous world-wide spread. The epidemics lasted about 18 months each, during which the incidence of infection was over 10 times that of the interepidemic periods.
