초록
배경:Chlamydophila pneumoniae 감염과 심근경색의 관련성에 관한 보고가 증가하고 있으나 여전히논란의 여지가 있다. 저자들은 C. pneumoniae 감염과 심근경색의 관련 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법:급성 심근경색으로 확진된 환자 54명과 심근경색의 과거력이 있는 사람 33명, 건강 대조군 60명을 대상으로 하여 혈청과 단핵세포를 얻었다. 자가제조 미세면역형광법(mIF)으로 혈청 내 C. pneumoniae에 대한 IgG와 IgM항체를 측정하였으며, 중합효소 연쇄반응(PCR) 검사로 단핵세포에서 C. pneumoniae DNA를 검출하였다. 결과:자가제조 mIF법에 의한 IgM 항체는 대조군에서 5.0%, 급성 심근경색 환자군에서 29.6% (OR 8.00) 그리고 심근경색 과거력이 있는 군의 6.1% (OR 1.23)에서 각각 양성으로 나타났다. IgG 항체는 대조군에서 60.0%, 급성 심근경색 환자군에서 92.6% (OR 8.33) 그리고 심근경색의 과거력이 있는 군에서 87.9%(OR 4.83)의 양성률을 보였다. 또한 항체 역가도 대조군에 비하여 급성 심근경색 환자군과 심근경색의 과거력이 있는 군에서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 단핵세포에서 C. pneumoniae DNA 검출은 모두 음성이었다. 결론:급성 심근경색 환자군과 심근경색의 과거력을 가진 군에서 자가제조 mIF법에 의한 항체 양성률과 역가가 대조군보다 훨씬 높은 것으로 미루어 볼 때 C. pneumoniae 감염이 심근경색의 하나의 위험인자가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
Abstract
Background: Although there are growing evidences linking Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection to myocardial infarction, it remains controversial. The authors intended to assess whether C. pneumoniaeinfection is associated with myocardial infarction. Methods: Sera and peripheral mononuclear cells (PMNCs) were collected from 54 cases of acute myocardial infarction (MI), 33 cases of old MI, and 60 normal controls. Anti- C. pneumoniaeIgG and IgM antibodies were measured using a microimmunofluorescence (mIF) method, and C. pneumoniae DNA was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Seropositivity of anti- C. pneumoniae IgM antibody by mIF was shown 5.0% in control group, 29.6% (OR=8.00) in the acute MI and 6.1% (OR=1.23) in old MI group. Seropositivity of anti-C. pneumoniae IgG antibody were 60.0 % in control group, 92.6% (OR=8.33) in the acute MI and 87.9% (OR= 4.83) in old MI group. The antibody titers in the acute MI and old MI group tended to be higher compared to those in control group. No C. pneumoniae DNA was detected in any case by PCR. Conclusion: The seropositivity and antibody titers were significantly higher in the acute MI and old MI group than in control group, suggesting that C. pneumoniae infection may be a risk factor for myocardial infarction.
