CulturingChlamydophila pneumoniae [PDF]

Journal of Chemotherapy, 2002
Chlamydophila pneumoniae (formerly Chlamydia pneumoniae) is an intracellular pathogen responsible for respiratory tract infection. A recent British survey of the microbial aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) indicated that C. pneumonia is responsible for 13% of CAP and is the second highest bacterial cause of CAP 1.

Infections Caused by Chlamydophila pneumoniae [PDF]

Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2014
High affinity to the epithelial lining of the airways makes Chlamydophila pneumoniae a common etiological agent of respiratory tract infections (RTI). It causes among others: pharyngitis, tracheitis, sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis and bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. It is estimated that Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection is responsible for about 20%

Multicenter Evaluation of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Viruses and Bacteria in Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens [PDF]

, 2020
The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel (QIAstat-Dx RP) is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of 20 pathogens directly from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens. The assay is performed using a simple sample-to-answer platform with

Immunoglobulin A vasculitis induced by atypical pneumonia infection with Chlamydophila pneumonia

IDCases, 2022
Infections are a common trigger for IgA vasculitis. Among the bacteria that cause atypical pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has strongly been associated with IgA vasculitis, with Chlamydophila pneumoniae reported with IgA vasculitis in only one

Single and multiple pathogen associations with cognitive impairment in the Panama Aging Research Initiative Study [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in developing countries is expected to rise as a result of increases in life expectancy and the ageing of the population (1). Accumulating evidence implicates pathogens as triggers of inflammation and development of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders, including AD (2‐4 ...

Atypical Bacterial Pathogens and Small-Vessel Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis of the Skin in Children: Systematic Literature Review

Pathogens, 2021
Leukocytoclastic small-vessel vasculitis of the skin (with or without systemic involvement) is often preceded by infections such as common cold, tonsillopharyngitis, or otitis media.
