Research: Study on Chlamydia Pneumonia Infection in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Antibiotics

An interesting new study by the pro-antibiotic researchers Sriram et. al. on the presence, or lack thereof, of the bacterium Chlamydia Pneumoniae (CPn) in the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients. While not providing overwhelming evidence of CPn infection in MS'ers versus healthy controls, they did find strong indications that a certain subset of MS patients have CPn infections.

"To examine a possible relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and multiple sclerosis (MS), we undertook an immunohistochemical (IHC), molecular, and ultrastructural comparison of central nervous system (CNS) tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sediment from patients with MS and control individuals with other neurological diseases (ONDs)...

Results of studies using these different approaches support our suspicion of the presence of chlamydial organisms in the CNS, in a subset of patients with MS."
