Comparison of seropositivity rate of mycoplasma pneumoniae in patents with acute myocardial infarction and without it

In recent years, chronic and persistent bacterial infections is introduced as predisposing factors of acute myocardial infarction (MI) that is a main cause of health problem, worldwide. In this study, the relationship between previous Mycoplasma Pneumonia infection and further myocardial infarction is investigated by comparing of seropositivity rate of Mycoplasma Pneumonia in patients with (MI) and control group. In this retrospective descriptive study, 374 sera of patients and 185 sera of control groups were examined by a commercial quantitative specific mycoplasma pneumonia IgG-ELISA kit (EUROIMMUNE, Germany) simultanously. Results were analyzed by Qui square test in SPSS, version 16 softvere. We found no significant relationship between seropositivity to Mycoplasma Pneumonia (IgG) with sex (P= 0.080), Age (P= 0.700), occupation (P= 0.080) and living place (P= 0.150) but the relationship between history of previous acute febrile diseases, infective chest diseases, hypertension and MI with Mycoplasma Pneumonia was significant (P= 0.003, P= 0.004, P= 0.003, P= 0.003 consequently). Regarding to results of this study, it can be said that history of previous mycoplasma pneumonia infections can be considered as one of the etiological agents in MI.
