PURPOSE: Chlamydia psittaci (Cp) has been associated to ocular adnexal lymphomas (OAL) with variable geographic distribution. Herein, we used multiple Chlamydia detection tools to identify Cp elementary bodies-containing cell and to assess Cp prevalence in both nodal and extranodal lymphomas.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: TETR-PCR, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and laser-capture microdissection were done in 35 OALs to define their effect in Chlamydia detection and, moreover, to identify the Cp cellular carrier. Cp prevalence was screened by TETR-PCR in 205 extraorbital lymphomas and 135 nonneoplastic controls.
RESULTS: Twenty-six (74%) OALs were associated with Cp infection: immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and laser-capture microdissection-assisted PCR showed that monocytes/macrophages were the Cp carriers; electron microscopy showed the presence of intact Cp elementary bodies into these cells. Immunohistochemistry and TETR-PCR showed a 70% concordance rate (P = 0.001). Cp DNA was equally prevalent in non-OAL, nodal, and extranodal lymphomas: among the latter, it was more common in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas of the skin (P = 0.03) and Waldeyer's ring.
CONCLUSIONS: This multiparametric approach shows, for the first time, that monocytes/macrophages are the carriers of Cp, Cp seems preferentially associated with lymphomas arising in organs primarily exposed to antigens. The clinical implications of these findings deserve to be prospectively investigated.
