RESULTS: High titers of C. pneumoniae microimmunofluorescence antibodies were found in 89.65% of the AMI group and in 25% of the HCM group (p = 0.0000065). Immunoglobulin A-microimmunofluorescence was 51.72% in the AMI group and 20.83% in the HCM group (p = 0.0042). Immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A antilipopolysoccharide titers were 65.51% and 62.60% in the AMI group and 20.83% in the HCM group, respectively (p = 0.006). High concentrations of interleukin-6 were found in 86.20% of our AMI group (p value = 54.38 pg/ml) when compared with the control group. A good correlation between interleukin-6 levels and immunoglobulin A-lipopolysaccharide titers (r = 0.658) was found. CONCLUSION: The presence of a high prevalence rate and high titers of immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A-specific anti-C. pneumoniae antibodies in AMI at admission demonstrated the presence of a specific anti-C. pneumoniae immunization in the AMI population. |
