Reporting detection of Chlamydia trachomatis DNA in tissues of neonatal death cases

Abstract: the use of molecular biology techniques in these cases of early infant mortality demonstrated that C. trachomatis could play a role in the development of severe infection and in early neonatal death, similarly to that observed with Mycoplasma hominis. Further study is required to determine the pathogenesis of this perinatal infection.

“…Sin embargo, en este estudio 11/20 PCR-positivo mostraron eosinofilia menor a este valor. Otros microorganismos que pueden desarrollar signos clínicos de neumonía semejantes a los de C. trachomatis son las infecciones por virus sincitial respiratorio, citomegalovirus y Ureaplasma urealiticum 13,21,26 . En este estudio se observó que en ningún paciente hubo infección por virus sincitial respiratorio.…”

“…Para la detección de Mycoplasma se utilizó la técnica de PCR descrita por Van Kuppeveld et al 19 , y los iniciadores utilizados fueron: MGSO (5 -GCACCATCTGTCACTCTGTTAACCTC-3 y GPO-1 (5 -ACTCCTACGGGAGGCAGC AGTA-3 ). La mezcla y las condiciones de reacción fueron utilizadas tal como se describió previamente 13 .…”

“…The risk for vertical transmission of chlamydia is between 60% and 70% and follows the infant's passage through the birth canal, which can result in neonatal sepsis [ 66 ]. However, there is some evidence that vertical transmission can also occur in utero , since newborns delivered by cesarean sections have also been born infected and with intact membranes [ 67 , 68 ].…”

“…C. trachomatis has also been found in all of the tissues of a newborn child, which suggest its invasive capacity [ 66 , 69 ]. Chlamydial DNA is increasingly being detected in different tissues of neonates who died of sepsis and neonates with infection (without isolated pathogen) who died during their first week of life.…”
