Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Chlamydia pneumoniae is suggested to be associated with cardiovascular diseases.
OBJECTIVES: To study the presence of IgG, IgA anti-C. pneumoniae antibodies, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as markers of previous C. pneumoniae infection and inflammation, in sera of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AIM), hypertension (HT), and coronary heart disease (CHD).
METHODS: Determination of these markers by ELISA method.
RESULTS: Proportion of samples containing both IgG and IgA antibodies as well as IL-6 was significantly higher in all groups of patients than in a control group. The CRP was significantly higher in patients with AIM and HT, however, in other patients, the proportion of positive samples depended on the chosen cut-off value.
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained indicate the feasibility of following chlamydial antibodies on higher number of serum samples extended to direct detection of C. pneumoniae in blood and vascular tissue (Tab. 2, Ref. 24).
