The presence of Chlamydia (C.) psittaci, C. pneumoniae and C. trachomatis DNAs in MALT lymphomas of ocular adnexals from 13 Austrian patients were studied. Gastrointestinal MALT lymphomas and gastritis specimens served as controls. Of 13 MALT lymphomas of the ocular adnexals, seven were positive for C. psittaci DNA. In contrast, one of 17 gastrointestinal specimens tested positive. All specimens were negative for C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae DNAs. In conclusion, C. psittaci infection was observed in the majority of MALT lymphomas of ocular adnexals in Austrian patients.
对13例奥地利患者眼附属器黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤中鹦鹉热衣原体(C. psittaci)、肺炎衣原体(C. pneumoniae)和沙眼衣原体(C. trachomatis)DNA的存在情况进行了研究。胃肠道MALT淋巴瘤和胃炎标本用作对照。在13例眼附属器MALT淋巴瘤中,7例鹦鹉热衣原体DNA呈阳性。相比之下,17例胃肠道标本中有1例检测呈阳性。所有标本沙眼衣原体和肺炎衣原体DNA均为阴性。总之,在奥地利患者的大多数眼附属器MALT淋巴瘤中观察到鹦鹉热衣原体感染。
