Suggests past infctn: Igg is a later phase antibody produced in response to a illness or infection by a specific agent. Igm would be an early phase (first weeks). A higher than expected igg level to this agent suggests the kid had a significant encounter with mycoplasma, an agent well known to cause pneumonia in kids.
