Chlamydia pneumoniae infection induces inflammatory changes in the aortas of rabbits
Open accessAbstract
Chlamydia pneumoniae, a common human respiratory pathogen, has been associated with atherosclerosis in several seroepidemiological studies. Moreover, its presence in lesions of vessel walls has been demonstrated by culture, immunohistochemistry, PCR, and electron microscopy. In this study, we infected intranasally with C. pneumoniae New Zealand White rabbits which had been fed a normal diet. Reinfection was given 3 weeks later. Six of the nine reinfected animals showed inflammatory changes consisting of intimal thickening or fibroid plaques resembling atherosclerosis in 2 to 4 weeks after reinfection. One rabbit had calcified lesions. Immunohistochemistry for C. pneumoniae was strongly positive in the three older affected animals. No lesions were seen in the controls. The results suggest that C. pneumoniae infection is capable of inducing inflammatory atherosclerosis-like changes in the aortas of infected rabbits.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
