  • Analysis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG response in patients with respiratory tract infections 
    Wijesooriya, W.R.P.L.I.; Kok, T.W.; Perera, J.; Thilakarathna, Y. (Research Symposium 2010 - Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2010)
    Introduction M. pneumoniae is the causative agent of primary atypical pneumonia. Patients mount IgM and IgG antibody responses against this infection. However, IgM antibodies are not always produced in adults upon ...
  • Detection of M. pneumoniae DNA and specific antibodies in relation to duration of illness 
    Wijesooriya, W.R.P.L.I.; Kok, T.W.; Perera, J.; Thilakarathna, Y.; Sunil-Chandra, N.P. (Sri Lanka College of Microbiologists, 2009)
    INTRODUCTION: M. pneumoniae is the causative agent of primary atypical pneumonia. Patients mount IgM and IgG antibody responses, which provide useful diagnostic markers. Tests for specific antibodies-and DMA amplification ...
  • Paired sera IgG test detects more Mycoplasma pneumonias infections than the single IgM test 
    Wijesooriya, W.R.P.L.I.; Kok, T.W.; Perera, J.; Thilakarathna, Y.; Sunil-Chandra, N.P. (Sri Lanka College of Microbiologists, 2009)
    INTRODUCTION: M. pneumoniae is the causative agent of primary atypical pneumonia. Patients mount an IgM and IgG antibody response, which are useful diagnostic markers. The single serum test for IgM specific antibodies may ...
  • Predisposing factors associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory tract infections 
    Wijesooriya, W.R.P.L.I.; Kok, T.W.; Perera, J.; Thilakarathna, Y. (Research Symposium 2010 - Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2010)
    Introduction Lower respiratory tract infections account for ~10% of worldwide burden of morbidity and mortality. Pneumonia is the 9th leading cause of hospital mortality in Sri Lanka and atypical pathogens account for ...
  • The use of serology and PCR in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae 
    Wijesooriya, W.R.P.L.I.; Kok, T.W.; Perera, J.; Thilakarathna, Y.; Sunil-Chandra, N.P. (Sri Lanka College of Microbiologists, 2010)
    INTRODUCTION: M. pneumoniae is the causative agent of primary atypical pneumonia. Patients mount IgM and IgG antibody responses, which are useful diagnostic markers. Tests for specific DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ...
