Abstract
We searched for the Chlamydia psittaci DNA the touchdown enzyme time release PCR (TETR-PCR) in 23 specimens from 21 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disorders, including 12 patients with MALT lymphoma to identify C. psittaci infection. Southern hybridization of the PCR product using the C. psittaci-specific probe failed to detect C. psittaci, although three samples appeared to be positive by ethidium bromide staining. This indicates that technical approach for detecting C. psittaci infection in ocular adnexal lymphoma might be an essential in disclosing this association.Entities:
