PMCID: PMC476865  PMID: 5488037

Abstract

An attempt was made to evaluate the role of Mycoplasma hominis in respiratory infection in adults. Sera collected from patients admitted to hospital with respiratory infections were examined for antibody to M. hominis. The incidence of antibody was no higher than that found previously in patients without respiratory disease.
