Abstract

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common bacterium causing respiratory tract infections worldwide. Usually the outcome is mild upper respiratory tract infection but also pneumonia is detected. Persistent C. pneumoniae infection has been connected to different chronic lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even lung cancer. The most surprising finding, however, has been the association between C. pneumoniae infection and cardiovascular diseases.
