Abstract

BACKROUND: The aim of our study was to investigate a relation between Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP). METHODS: The study was performed as a clinical prospective study. Totally, 104 healthy volunteers [76 male (73%), 28 female (27%), aged 64±14 years old] and 126 patients with AIS [64 female (51%), 76 male (73%), aged 67 ±14 years old] applied to Emergency department of Meram Medical School, Selçuk University, between January 01,2001 and December 31, 2001 were studied. The patients and the controls were compared in respect to their CP seropositivity (CP IgG and CP IgA antibodies). RESULTS: The seropositivity of CP IgA and CP IgG was statistically significaııt in the patients group compared to that of the control group (p=0.006 and p=0.001 respectively). CONCLUSION: Our results implies a relation between CP and AIS. Possibility of such a relation deeds to be more investigated.

Özet

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızın amacı Akut Iskeınik Strok (AlS) ile Chlamydia Pneumoniae (CP) seropozitifliği arasındaki olası ilişkiyi araştırmaktı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışma prospektif bir klinik çalışma olarak yapıldı. 01-01-2001 ile 31-12-2001 tarihleri arasındaSelçuk Üniversitesi Meram Tıp Fakültesi acil servisine başvuran 126 AlS'lu hasta [64 kadın (%51), 62 erkek (%49), ortalamayaş 67 ±14] ve hiçbir yakınması olmayan, sağlıklı, gönüllü 104 birey [76 erkek (%73), 28 kadın (%27), ortalama yaş 64±14] çalışmaya alındı. Hasta ve kontrol grubu CP seropozitifliği (CP IgG ve IgA antikorları) açısından karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: CP IgA ve CP IgG seropozitifliği AlS'lu olgularda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (Sırasıyla, P=0.006 ve P=0.001). SONUÇ: Bu sonuçlara göre, CP ile AIS arasında bir ilişki söz konusu olabilir. Olası bu ilişkinin kapsamlı çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.
