Document: M. pneumoniae was the only bacterium on the panels which was identified. Four patients in the control arm had an elevated Mycoplasma CFT (1:64, 1:64, 1:32, >1:16). Convalescent serology was not sent, rendering results uninterpretable. All of these results were available after ward discharge, three after hospital discharge, and did not influence management. The TAT was 8-13 days. Five patients in the intervention arm had M. pneumoniae detected by FilmArray®. Antibiotics were started for 2 of these cases and extended in 2 after discussion with the Microbiologist.
