The results of a Mycoplasma pneumoniae serology test performed routinely at the Bacteriology Division, Institute for Medical Research were reviewed. A total of 1402 patients were screened over a period of 4 years (January, 1990-December, 1993), of which 327 (23.3%) were seropositive. The seropositivity rates among Malays, Chinese and Indians were 25.2, 25.4 and 17.8% respectively. The male to female ratio was 1:1. The age specific rate was highest amongst patients of the 6-12 years (35.1%) followed by the 13-20 years age groups (35.0%). In general, infection with M. pneumoniae appears to be relatively common in this country.
对医学研究所细菌学部门常规进行的肺炎支原体血清学检测结果进行了回顾。在4年期间（1990年1月至1993年12月）共筛查了1402名患者，其中327名（23.3%）血清呈阳性。马来人、华人和印度人的血清阳性率分别为25.2%、25.4%和17.8%。男女比例为1:1。年龄特异性发病率在6至12岁患者中最高（35.1%），其次是13至20岁年龄组（35.0%）。总体而言，肺炎支原体感染在该国似乎相对常见。
