Multi-peptide ELISAs overcome cross-reactivity and inadequate sensitivity of conventional Chlamydia pneumoniae serology

Scientific Reports, 2019
Cross-reactivity of classical chlamydial antigens compromises Chlamydia (C.) pneumoniae serology. By testing with 185 human antisera, we expanded 18 previously discovered C. pneumoniae-specific B-cell epitopes to 48 peptide antigens from 12 C. pneumoniae

Antisynthetase Syndrome Mimicking Pulmonary Infection: A Diagnostic Lesson From County‐Managed Hospital

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease classified as a distinct subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, characterized by the presence of anti–aminoacyl‐transfer RNA synthetase (anti‐ARS) antibodies. Typical clinical features include myositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), arthritis, fever, mechanic's hands ...

Round pneumonia due to Chlamydia pneumoniae in a child

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Round pneumonia is a disease commonly recognized in the pediatric age group, especially under the age of 8 years. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common agent causing this characteristic type of pneumonia. We herein report a case of a 6-year-old boy

Epidemiology of Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1998
Chlamydia pneumoniae is the most commonly occurring intracellular bacterial pathogen. It is frequently involved in respiratory tract infections and to a lesser degree in extrapulmonary diseases. According to seroepidemiologic surveys, C. pneumoniae infection seems to be both endemic and epidemic. Such studies indicate that C.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction Combined With Quantum Dot Fluorescence Analysis Method for Rapid Detection of Multiple Urinary Tract Infection Pathogens in Children

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 6, March 2026.
In this study, we developed a novel pathogen detection platform by combining PCR technology with quantum dot fluorescence materials, aiming to improve the speed and accuracy of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogen detection. We collected 294 clinical samples to evaluate the performance of the platform.

Chlamydia Persistence: A Survival Strategy to Evade Antimicrobial Effects in-vitro and in-vivo

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The Chlamydiaceae comprise a group of highly adapted bacterial pathogens sharing a unique intracellular lifestyle. Three Chlamydia species are pathogenic to humans: Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Chlamydia psittaci. C.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae‐Induced Rash and Mucositis: Clinicopathologic Characterization of 11 Cases

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 276-283, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Mycoplasma pneumoniae ‐induced rash and mucositis (MIRM) is a mucocutaneous eruption affecting children and young adults with respiratory tract or clinically occult infection by M. pneumoniae . Mucosal involvement is often robust and may raise concern for Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). Histopathologic

Helicobacter pylori, Inflammation, and Long‐Term Outcome in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Cohort Study

Helicobacter, Volume 31, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its virulence factor Cytotoxin‐associated gene A (CagA) have been linked to myocardial infarction (MI), but the mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to test if Hp infection and CagA are associated with pre‐specified inflammatory and vascular biomarkers in patients with MI and to explore whether a ...

Valutazione del ruolo delle IgM, IgG, IgA sieriche e delle IgA dello sputo nella diagnosi di polmonite comunitaria da Chlamydia pneumoniae: studio italiano policentrico

Microbiologia Medica, 2004
To evaluate the incidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae as etiologic agent of community acquired pneumonia (CAP), specific IgM and IgG antibodies anti-C. pneumoniae in serum and IgA in both serum and sputum were detected by a new ELISA-like test (EIA CP-IgG ...
