Serological markers for Chlamydia pneumoniae were investigated by using the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) test in various age and patient groups in a specific area in Turkey. IgG seropositivity to C. pneumoniae was 64.3% and 18.7% in healthy adults and children, respectively. The highest positivity rate (77%) was in the 15-19 age group. Among the groups investigated, serological findings revealed a possible etiological association between C. pneumoniae and the clinical condition in the groups with acute myocardial infarction, atypical pneumoniae and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
在土耳其某一特定地区，通过微量免疫荧光（MIF）试验对不同年龄组和患者群体进行了肺炎衣原体血清学标志物的研究。健康成人和儿童中肺炎衣原体IgG血清阳性率分别为64.3%和18.7%。15 - 19岁年龄组的阳性率最高（77%）。在所研究的群体中，血清学结果显示肺炎衣原体与急性心肌梗死、非典型肺炎和慢性阻塞性肺疾病组的临床状况之间可能存在病因学关联。
