A review on participation of chlamydiae in the origin of the HIV - infection, carcinoma and atherosclerosis.The antibodies against the newly discovered pgp3 protein of C. trachomatis were found in 83 - 87% of theseropositive HIV patients.The participation of C. trachomatis in the etiology of cervical and ovarian carcinoma has been discussed in a numberof articles. Simultaneous examinations along different lines allow the hypothesis, that C. trachomatis acts asa cofactor in the development of ovarian and cervical carcinoma. Chronic infection by C. pneumoniae appears to beone of the risk factors of pulmonary carcinoma.Many papers dealing with the relation of chlamydiae and atherosclerosis have been published. The relation betweenthe chronic C. pneumoniae - infection and atherosclerosis has been assessed serologically and by direct demonstrationof chlamydiae in atheromatous plaques.
Key words: chlamydiae, HIV, carcinoma, atherosclerosis.
