Controversy exists whether persistent Chlamydia pneumoniae or cytomegalovirus infections cause initiation or progression of atherosclerosis. C. pneumoniae DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) has been proposed to be a more reliable marker of cardiovascular risk than are C. pneumoniae antibodies. Reported prevalences of C. pneumoniae DNA among cardiovascular patients vary greatly, indicating methodological limitations. There is an increasing concern that published results may have been biased by extensive use of less specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology.
