How can You Get Chlamydia?

These complications are very common in the infected young teens and the adults with past medical history of Chlamydia pneumoniae infections. The other risk factors like the smoking, cold environment and existence of other immuno-compromising diseases can increase the incidence of these complications. The exact underlying molecular mechanism of the Chlamydia pneumoniae is when the organism infects a human, the pathogen enters in to the lung cell and then it invades a white blood cell, as it an intracellular pathogen.

Then it is very difficult for the immune system to identify the organism in the blood stream and the Chlamydia pneumoniae evades the immune mediated response. After this process, the Chlamydia pneumoniae enters in to the reproduction cycle and then it replicates inside the invaded cells. Then it can compromise the immune reactions and also there will be recurrence in the lung infection and episodic bronchial attacks.

There will be a progressive increase in the secretion and release of Immunoglobulins like IgG, IgA and IgM. Most of these problems are unresponsive to the antibiotics and the antiviral drugs because, Chlamydia Pneumoniae is an intracellular pathogen that harbours inside the normal white blood cells. Some of the alternative and complimentary medicines can give promising effects with out the any damage to the host which is contrary the existing antibiotics.

Some of the research reports claims that the person with Chlamydia pneumoniae infection can develop the disease of Cystic Fibrosis and vice-versa. The next and important complication of the Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is the incidence of the heart diseases like Ischemia, myocardial infarction, myocarditis and even stroke. The Chlamydia pneumoniae is commonly called as the ‘Heart-Attack Germ’.

The bacteria that invade the white blood cells enter the circulatory system from the pulmonary system by using invaded cells as a vehicle. These bacteria will be rapidly reproduced in the arteries that can cause the inflammation in the arteries that can cause bleeding and clotting reactions inside the blood vessels.
