摘要
Introduction. The relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerosis has been assessed in sever-al studies. Development and conclusions. Their results suggest a possible role of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the origin al rd development of the disease, while the actual link between them are still unknown. However, the presence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in patients with atherosclerosis could be just a coincidence [REV NEUROL 1999; 28: 251-5].
