1 Chlamydophila (Chlamydia) pneumoniae serology and asthma in adults: A longitudinal analysis 
Rafael Pasternack, MD, PhD, Heini Huhtala, MSc, Jussi Karjalainen, MD, PhD  Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  Volume 116, Issue 5, Pages (November 2005) DOI: /j.jaci Copyright © 2005 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Chronic C pneumoniae infection at the baseline and decline in FEV1 during follow-up in nonsmoking patients with asthma and controls. Values are median (▪) and quartile range (whiskers), given in milliliters per year. Criteria for chronic C pneumoniae infection (CI +) = microimmunofluorescence IgG titer ≥ 128 and IgA titer ≥ 32.5 P values calculated with Mann-Whitney U test.

Values are median (▪) and quartile range (whiskers), given in milliliters per year. Criteria for chronic C pneumoniae infection (CI +) = microimmunofluorescence IgG titer ≥ 128 and IgA titer ≥ 32.5 P values calculated with Mann-Whitney U test.
