Abstract

Objective To assess Chlamydophila psittaci (Cp) subclinical infection in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Methods Seventy-four SS patients (55.4 ±13.4 yrs; 94.6% females) were studied. Among them, 18 had salivary gland mucosa- associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) B-cell lymphoma, 20 myoepithelial sialoadenitis (MESA), and 36 no lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). The presence of Cp DNA was assessed in peripheral blood of all patients by specific PCR protocols. Paired salivary gland samples were also investigated whenever available (34 cases), including lymphomatous and non-lymphomatous samples, as well as major and minor salivary gland tissues. As controls, 225 blood donors were analysed in the peripheral blood. Results Overall, Cp DNA was detected in 11/74 (14.9%) SS patients vs. 1/225 (0.4%) controls (p
