much attention in rece n t years. In this study we assessed
the prevalence of C.P lielli!Jlilliae infections in patients with
chronic stab le and acute exacerbation of asthma an d
compared it with normal population. Twen ty adult
patien ts with ch ronic stable asthma and 21 pa tien ts wi th
ac ute exacerbations o f asthma and 41 matched control
subjects were studie d for presen ce o f C. pnetlll10niae using
ce ll culture. T his study suggests that p ositive resu lts o f C.
pneumoniae culture are associa ted with both chronic stable
and acute exace rba tio n o f asthma. It could be concluded
that C.pnenmoniae is a risk factor for either development o r
exacerbation of asthma.
