摘要
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis, and acute otitis media, especially in young children, immunocompromised patients, and elderly. Fc gamma-IIA receptor plays a crucial role in the phagocytosis of IgG2-opsonized bacteria since it is the sole receptor able to interact with IgG2 antibodies. Fc gamma-RIIA exhibits allelic polymorphisms with different capacities for binding IgG2 and phagocytosis. In a prospective study, we genotyped Fc gamma-RIIA in 55 Caucasian patients suffering from invasive pneumococcal disease and in 100 Caucasian controls. In contrast to previous reports, we found no association between Fc gamma-RIIA genotype and invasive pneumococcal disease. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
