The most common pathogens of respiratory tract infections such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are frequently present in middle ear effusions. Therefore, it is possible that C. pneumoniae play a role in otitis media with eff...
متن کاملDistribution of Chlamydia pneumoniae Infection in the Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery
Background and Purpose—Chlamydia pneumoniae infection has recently become noteworthy in relation to atherosclerosis. We investigated by immunohistochemistry the distribution of C pneumoniae infection in the atherosclerotic carotid artery. Methods—Twenty carotid atherosclerotic lesions that were resected during carotid endarterectomy were investigated. Parallel sections were stained immunohistoc...
