Intra-articular co-infection by Borrelia burgdorferi and Chlamydia trachomatis.
OBJECTIVE Chlamydia trachomatis and Borrelia burgdorferi infections are frequently the cause of unexplained oligoarthritis, as shown by identification of bacteria specific DNA in joint material from patients with reactive arthritis, Lyme arthritis, and undifferentiated oligoarthritis. The aim of this study was to determine whether the two organisms occur simultaneously in joint material from pa...
متن کاملChlamydia pneumoniae--a new causative agent of reactive arthritis and undifferentiated oligoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE To examine whether reactive arthritis (ReA) known to occur after a urogenital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis can also follow an infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae, a recently described species of Chlamydiae that is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. METHODS Specific antibodies (microimmunofluorescence test) and lymphocyte proliferation to C trachomatis and C pneu...
متن کاملLigase chain reaction in detection of Chlamydia DNA in synovial fluid cells.
Synovial fluid cells from 12 patients with reactive arthritis (ReA) triggered by Chlamydia trachomatis were studied for the presence of Chlamydia DNA using the ligase chain reaction (LCR) LCx (Abbott) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Amplicor (Roche). In addition, peripheral blood leucocytes from 11 of these patients were analysed by LCR. As controls, seven patients with newly diagnosed ...
متن کاملOptimised sample DNA preparation for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in synovial tissue by polymerase chain reaction and ligase chain reaction.
OBJECTIVE Molecular biology techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ligase chain reaction (LCR) are routinely used in research for detection of C trachomatis DNA in synovial samples, and these methods are now in use in some clinical laboratories. This study aimed at determining the method best suited to molecular diagnosis of C trachomatis by examining four standard DNA preparati...
متن کاملMicrobiology of acute arthropathies among children in Argentina: II. Chlamydia trachomatis and pneumoniae
No analysis has been carried out on the impact of Chlamydia in pediatric patients with arthritis. The present study was conducted to investigate whether Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae could be identified as a triggering infection in 33 pediatric patients including adolescents with acute joint disorders by using an extensive laboratory approach. Synovial fluid, nasopharyngeal sec...
