[edit] C. trachomatis
The following line (in Symptoms and diagnosis) is of dubious veracity at best:
"Most patients with Chlamydia pneumoniae may not test positive for C. trachomatis since the bacteria is localized in the lungs but may infect a non infected partner through oral sex in which case the partner will develop Chlamydia Trachomatis."
Unless I completely misunderstand this, it is not accurate. If there is someone more informed about Chlamydial infections who would like to tackle this, please go ahead. Otherwise, I'll be back in a few days to take a shot.206.190.137.34 (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
"Unfortunately, as of 2005, no treatment of infection has not been shown to decrease incidence of myocardial infarction."

Jan 18th, 07: added reference for role in atherosclerosis (Blasi et al). I am no expert here, but there is no mention in the article about 'chlamydia pneumoniae persistence'which has implications for its treatment.--Michele F 09:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversial?
"It may also be contained within heat-resistant fibers currently being injected into the atmosphere by a covert world-wide aerosol-disseminating program through modified high-altitude unmarked jet aircraft." Reference: http://www.carnicom.com/morgobs6.htm
Is this a reliable source? Is this a mainstream opinion? I think it should be revised, and not just called "a minor edit". --Asuka Rei (talk) 22:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
