title: [Current views on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis from the position of infectious pathology].
abstract: The role of immune inflammation at atherogenesis is studied in the paper. Two etiological factors of atherosclerosis pathogeny are under examination: the role of modified low density lipoproteins (mLDL) and essential parasites (Chlamydia pneumoniae and Cytomegaloviruses). Generality of immune response during persistent infection into a blood vessel wall and deposit or formation of mLDL are discussed. The point of view is substantiated that the development of atherosclerotic damages of blood vessels is speeded up by a combination of the two mentioned etiological factors.
