ABSTRACT
In recent years, the role of infectious agents in the aetiology of atherosclerotic disease has come to the forefront. In the present study, seroprevalence (IgG) of chlamydia pneumoniae and helicobacter pylori in patients with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease was compared to normal healthy adults. Out of a total of 117 patients 101 had unstable angina (UA) and 16 had chronic stable angina (CSA). C. pneumoniae seropositivity was found in 66% of patients with UA and 94% of CSA patients. The corresponding figures for H. pylori were 58% and 56% respectively. In comparison, 81% of healthy adults were seropositive for C. pneumoniae and 53% for H.pylori. No significant association was found between CHD and the infectious agents. However, this study has revealed a high infection by C. pneumoniae as well as H.pylori in this part of India.
