[Antibodies to Chlamydia pneumoniae in blood serum of patients with ischemic heart disease and presence of complicated lesions in coronary arteries].
Levels of IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies to Chlamydia pneumoniae were measured in 107 patients (age 33-75 years) with documented coronary atherosclerosis and 39 subjects with intact coronary arteries. Rates of seropositivity to C. pneumoniae were 77.6 and 25.6% in patients and "healthy" subjects, respectively (p<0.05). Seropositive (n=83) compared with seronegative (n=24) patients had higher prevalence of complicated lesions (p<0.05).
