  • Ateroskleroza in okužbe z bakterijo Chlamydia pneumoniae = Atherosclerosis and infections with Chlamydia pneumoniae
    Strle, Franc, 1949-
    This review article gives data on the association between atherosclerosis and infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association has been suggested by thefindings of several epidemiological and ... seroepidemiological studies, supported by the presence of C. pneumoniae in atherosclerotic vessel lesions and by the findings of in vitro studies, and demonstrated in animal studies bythe induction of (atherosclerotic) inflammatory changes and/or enhancement of the influence of traditional atherosclerosis risk factors on the course of atherosclerosis, as well as by prevention of the lesions by early antibiotic treatment. Several clinical studies on the influence of antibiotic treatment on the course of coronary artery disease are in progress. While there is no doubt about the association between atherosclerosis and C. pneumoniae infection, the possible etiological role of this infection remains to be established. C. pneumoniae infections might have been the etiological agent ofatherosclerosis, one of the risk factors or just coincidental to atherosclerosis; this last possibility seems rather remote. There have been noreliable reasons for routine treatment of coronary heart disease with antibiotics in everyday clinical practice.
