Mycoplasmas as Agents of Human Disease
Abstract
MYCOPLASMAS have long been recognized as pathogens of the respiratory tract, urogenital tract, and joints in a variety of animal species.1 With rare exceptions, they produce diseases that are chronic and often of multifactorial origin, the syndrome produced depending on environmental conditions, the genetic predisposition of the host, and to a lesser extent the nature of the infecting microbe. Thus, it has always been difficult to establish the etiologic importance of mycoplasmas.In the past decade, these organisms have received increasing attention as agents of human disease. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, previously thought to cause only benign respiratory disease, can also . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
