Global detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, April 2017–March 2021 (n = 30,617)

Ig: immunoglobulin.

Data from combined serology and PCR tests are shown under indirect test methods (no distinction possible between detection methods, but predominantly serology; Table 1). For serology, only total test numbers of IgM considered. The grey backgrounds indicate the presence of non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Detailed graphs separately for each site and country with corresponding local lockdown periods are shown in Supplementary Figures S1–S6.
