Objective.
To assess associations of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium antibodies with epithelial ovarian tumors.
Methods.
Plasma samples from 291 women, undergoing surgery due to suspected ovarian pathology, were analyzed with respect to C.
trachomatis IgG and IgA, chlamydial Heat Shock Protein 60-1 (cHSP60-1) IgG and M.
genitalium IgG antibodies.
Women with borderline tumors (n=12), ovarian carcinoma (n=45), or other pelvic malignancies (n=11) were matched to four healthy controls each.
Results.
Overall, there were no associations of antibodies with EOC.
However, chlamydial HSP60-1 IgG antibodies were associated with type II ovarian cancer (P=.002) in women with plasma samples obtained >1 year prior to diagnosis (n=7).
M.
genitalium IgG antibodies were associated with borderline ovarian tumors (P=.01).
Conclusion.
Chlamydial HSP60-1 IgG and M.
genitalium IgG antibodies are in this study associated with epithelial ovarian tumors in some subsets, which support the hypothesis linking upper-genital tract infections and ovarian tumor development.
