We present real.time, rapid detection of Mycoplasma pneumonia in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) inside a Y.channel polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device by means of optical fiber monitoring of latex immunoagglutination. The latex immunoagglutination assay was performed with serially diluted Mycoplasma pneumonia solutions using highly carboxylated polystyrene particles of 390nm and 500nm diameter conjugated with monoclonal anti. Mycoplasma pneumonia . Proximity optical fibers were located around the viewing cell of the device, which were used to measure the increase in 45${\b{o}}$ forward light scattering of the immunoagglutinated particles. The detection limit was less than 50 $pgml^{-1}$ both for 390nm and 500nm microspheres with the detection time less than 90 seconds.
