“…The tropism of various types of pathogens, such as herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, C. pneumoniae and H. pylori , for endothelial and other vascular cells in patients with advanced atherosclerotic CHD has been documented 27, although the precise implications of their localization in the atheromatous plaque remain debatable. A recent study even found the presence of C. pneumoniae DNA in incipient coronary lesions from older children and adolescents 28.…”

“…This group was able to demonstrate the presence of the organisms in all the post-mortem atheromas but in none of the control cases. Since then a number of other studies provided positive and negative results about the presence of the bacterium in atherosclerotic lesions [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. There have been a large number of studies in experimental models showing that atherosclerotic lesions can be accelerated following respiratory infection with Chlamydia pneumonia.…”
