Abstract
Inflammatory foci induced by murine cytomegalovirus infection in normochole sterolemic mice were present temporarily in the aortic wall, but some of th ese foci developed into advanced lesions that persisted late after infectio n. The early foci induced by virus infection were significantly exacerbated following a single inoculation with Chlamydia pneumoniae.
