RESUMO

Objective of the study: to test the association of serum titers of anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae and anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The patients were divided into 4 groups: ACS with ST-segment elevation, ACS without ST-segment elevation, chronic asymptomatic atherosclerosis and blood donors without known coronary disease. Serum samples were collected during the acute event and after six months of follow-up. Six months after the acute event, patients with ACS with St-segment elevation showed a significant decrease of serum titers, when compared to the other one. Thats show the association between anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae and anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody titers and acute coronary syndrome.
