Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the distribution of chlamydial serovars in patients with follicular conjunctivitis in Iran, linking anatomical tropism of the bacterium to its types based on outer membrane proteins.
- A total of 68 conjunctival specimens were analyzed, revealing that 55.9% of patients tested positive for Chlamydia, particularly among younger individuals, with 38.2% having a history of urinary tract infections.
- Four serovars were identified, with serovar E being the most common, suggesting that chlamydial follicular conjunctivitis often originates from genital infections and highlights the need for genotyping in understanding disease epidemiology and treatment outcomes.

Objective: Far beyond hemostasis and thrombosis, significant evidence has indicated the critical role of platelets in atherosclerosis. SDF-1 is among the pro-inflammatory chemokines that are increased in platelets of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of the current work is to identify the in vitro effect of platelets from either CAD patients or healthy volunteers on the induction of macrophages and foam cells.
