Potential association between bacterial infections and ischemic stroke based on fifty case-control studies: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In this meta-analysis, a significant relationship was observed between infection by three bacteria such as C. pneumoniae, H. pylori, and M. tuberculosis with the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, due to the similarity between TLRVYK domain in β2-glycoprotein-I and TLRVYK peptide in various of microorganisms, produced antibodies against pathogens interact with β2-glycoprotein-I, hence the cross-reaction phenomenon increases the positive relationship between infectious diseases and ischemic stroke.PMID:35592534 | PMC:PMC9112101 | DOI:10.1016/j.nmni.2022.100980
