    Abstract:
    Lower respiratory tract infections are a heterogeneous group of disorders induced by plenty of pathogens. Atypical bacteria play an important role in the respiratory tract pathology. In our study 90 patients with acute infection of the respiratory tract were examined in serological screening test for Mycoplasma pneumonia and Chlamydia pneumoniae. It was confirmed that in 21 patients with community acquired pneumonia Mycoplasma pneumonia antibodies were detected in 38% and Chlamydia pneumoniae in 10%. In our opinion this screening serological tests are useful for early diagnosis of atypical bacterial infections of the respiratory tract.
