Abstract
We examined the effect of hydrocortisone succinate on the growth of th ree isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae in vitro. There was a significant increase in the number of inclusions seen in two of the C. pneumoniae strains in the presence of hydrocortisone. There was no significant i ncrease In the number of inclusions with various concentrations of hyd rocortisone over time. The addition of hydrocortisone did not affect t he in vitro activities of azithromycin, erythromycin, and doxycycline against C. pneumoniae.
