<i>Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydiae pneumoniae</i>and<i>trachomatis</i>as probable etiological agents of preeclampsia

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori was found to act as a cofactor in the development of PE. Occurrence of C. trachomatis was low in pregnant women in our community; however, it showed that it may act as a cofactor in PE, whereas C. pneumoniae was attributed to have no role in PE pathogenesis until supported by further studies.
