Atherosclerosis: Why the search for a causative infectious agent is not warrantedThe author contends that there is sufficient evidence to exclude a major causative role for infectious agents in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The arguments are summarized as follows.

The best combination seems to be serology by MIF in combination with detection of . in the respiratory tract by PCR and/or cell culture. Since . can persist in the respiratory tract [1], serology can be used to distinguish between an acute and a persistent infection.

In addition, there is growing evidence that the organism may playa role in atherogenesis, as several studies have demonstrated the presence of the organism in atherosclerotic lesions [8].

Serum samples collected in 1978 from adolescents and young adults in two communities in northern Finland with chest X-ray infiltrates were investigated in Seattle by Saikku and Wang. The sera reacted in the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) test with a chlamydial strain — TW 183 — collected in Taiwan 1965. The study was published 1985 [1].
