CP has been seroepidemiologically linked to CAD. The organism has also been isolated from atherosclerotic lesions. Two reports in humans and one report in animals have shown that macrolide therapy (azithromycin or roxithromycin) may decrease the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evidence seems to support an association between CP infection and an increased incidence of CAD. Additional and larger seroepidemiologic studies of this association need to be performed to establish a causal relationship between infection and CAD. Determination of the actual role of CP in CAD may decide the role of specific antichlamydial therapy in the management of this condition.<\/jats:p>\n
