• Pulmonary Infiltrate

  Only 82 patients were initially eligible to study with the diagnosis of CAP; 23 patients were further excluded either because a new pulmonary infiltrate was not confirmed at chest radiograph (5 patients) or alternative diagnoses were made (COPD, 5 patients [scielo.br]

  CONCLUSIONS: Mild hypercholesterolemia in mice does not facilitate C. pneumoniae persistence in the vascular wall. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Early events in lesion development include endothelial activation, which can be triggered by risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia. This results in leukocyte recruitment to the endothelium and migration into the subendothelium ( 18 ). [doi.org]
