肺炎衣原体与多发性硬化症相关性研究进展

Progress in Research of Association Between Chlamydia pneumonia and Multiple sclerosis

多发性硬化症是一种中枢神经系统白质脱髓鞘疾病,病因至今仍不清楚,很多研究都提示多发性硬化症是一种感染性疾病。近年来发现肺炎衣原体感染与中枢神经系统疾病有相关性,与多发性硬化症关系研究较多,但尚不能肯定是其病因,肺炎衣原体可能参与多发性硬化症的病程。

Multiple sclerosis （MS） is a demyelinating disease of central nervous system white matter,so far the cause of MS remains unclear. Many studies have suggested that MS is an infectious disease. Inrecent years, studies have found that Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is related to central nervous systemdiseases, including multiple sclerosis, but its cause is still not defined. Chlamydia pneumoniae may beinvolved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
