Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infections

1996
Chlamydiae are bacteria since they: (i) are bounded by a cell wall which is similar to that possessed by Gram-negative bacteria; (ii) contain both DNA and RNA; (iii) multiply by binary fission; and (iv) are susceptible to certain antibiotics. However, they become obligate intracellular parasites during part of their growth cycle and in this regard ...

DFA, EIA, PCR, LCR and other technologies: what tests should be used for diagnosis of chlamydia infections?

Immunological Investigations, 1997
For many years, isolation in tissue culture (TC) was considered the test of choice for diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Non-culture tests, such as direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which detected chlamydial ...

Infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae in Brooklyn

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1991
Of 91 children and adults with lower respiratory tract infection, 17 (18.7%) had evidence of infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae. Infection was more common in older adolescents and adults than in children. Only 3 of 8 culture-positive patients with paired sera had serologic evidence of acute infection. Two patients were culture positive over a 12-month

Chlamydia infections and arthritis [PDF]

, 2000
Reactive arthritis (ReA) or arthritis in general is much more frequently associated with C. trachomatis than C. pneumoniae. I will briefly introduce you to the clinical picture of reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis occurs after urogenital tract infection with Chlamydia and the symptoms normally occur days or weeks after the initial infection. Often

Chlamydia pneumoniae respiratory infections

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2000
Chlamydia pneumoniae is a significant cause of both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The spectrum of diseases ranges from asymptomatic infection to serious disease, including severe pneumonia and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis requiring mechanical ventilation. There is increasing evidence of involvement of C.

Chlamydia Infection and Pneumonia

2002
As outlined in Table II this review has delineated similarities and differences in the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, and immune responses to chlamydial pneumonias. Each organism may induce unique immune responses, as different pneumonia syndromes result from infection with different chlamydiae. Understanding such species differences in

A review on infection with Chlamydia trachomatis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2006
Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis accounts for the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the UK. Men between 20 and 24 years and women between 16 and 19 years have the highest prevalence of chlamydial infection. Because the majority of women with chlamydial infection are asymptomatic, a proportion remains untreated and eventually ...

Perinatal Infections with Chlamydia Trachomatis

Clinics in Perinatology, 1988
Much has been relearned and learned anew about perinatal chlamydial infections during the past 10 to 15 years. The adverse effects of infection on pregnancy outcome have been suggested but not fully documented or explained. Epidemiologic, biologic, and immunologic correlates of risk for infection and complications of pregnancy due to C. trachomatis are

Chlamydia trachomatis and HIV infection

Immunology Letters, 1994
To study the interactions between Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, we examined CT serologies in sequential serum samples of male homosexuals (MHS), followed over a mean period of 4 years. Of the MHS studied, 77 were HIV(-), 18 were HIV(+) and 10 patients seroconverted during the study period. Seventy matched
