Síndrome coronario agudo asociado a neumonía por Chlamydia pneumoniae, en dos casos: Report of two cases
Epidemiological and clinical studies attribute to Chlamidia pneumoniae infections a pathogenetic role in atherosclerotic vascular lesions. We report two patients in whom this infection was followed by acute coronary events. A 51 years old male presented with a right lower lobe pneumonia and a positi...
