Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) is a bacterium that in recent years has been investigated as an etiologic agent for atherosclerosis. It is a ubiquitous microorganism that has been isolated in various regions of the vascular system and its prevalence is about 10% in the patient population. This study involved a group of 43 patients (27 men, 16 women, mean age 68 years) who underwent carotid endarterectomy
肺炎衣原体(CP)是一种细菌,近年来已被研究为动脉粥样硬化的病原体。它是一种普遍存在的微生物,已在血管系统的各个区域分离出来,其患病率在患者人群中约为10%。这项研究涉及一组43例接受了颈动脉内膜切除术的患者(27例男性,16例女性,平均年龄68岁)。约9.3%的患者产生的斑块对肺炎衣原体的DNA基因组呈阳性。
